For decades, she was listed as a missing person and her husband was investigated as a suspect even after he died in the 1990s. In 2013, Johnson was found alive in [[Whitehorse, Yukon]], where she had remarried and had other children. She claimed she abandoned her first family because her husband was physically abusive.</small> |- | Mary Sullivan | [[Albert DeSalvo]] | [[Boston, Massachusetts]], US | January 4, 1964 | July 2013 | <small>Last victim attributed to the [[Boston Strangler]], who was raped and strangled with two scarves in her home. While DeSalvo confessed to being the Strangler, he was tried for several unrelated rapes only and was sentenced to life in prison, where he was murdered in 1973. Forty years later, his body was exhumed and his DNA matched to semen found at the crime scene. Doubts remain about DeSalvo's relation to the other Strangler murders.</small> |- | Diane McDermott | John Sponza | [[Waterbury, Connecticut]], US | February 9, 1967 | 2012<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/dylan-mcdermott-mother-murder-death-gangster-341494|title=Dylan McDermott's Mother Murdered in 1967 According to Police|date=June 25, 2012|website=The Hollywood Reporter}}</ref> | <small>A 21-year-old woman shot with the gun of her live-in boyfriend, Sponza, who had ties to [[organized crime]]. The death was ruled an accident resulting from McDermott picking up the gun while Sponza was cleaning it. However, the case was reinvestigated decades later at the request of McDermott's son, actor [[Dylan McDermott]], and ruled a homicide by Sponza. Sponza was himself murdered in 1972 and his murder remains unsolved.</small> |- | [[USS Cacapon (AO-52)#Vietnam War operations|Andrew Lee Muns]] | Michael LeBrun | [[Subic Bay]], Philippines | 1968 | 1998 | <small>Ensign serving aboard the [[fleet oiler]] {{USS|Cacapon|AO-52|6}} during the [[Vietnam War]], who disappeared along with $8,600 from the ship's safe. Muns was officially listed as a thief and a [[deserter]] until the NCIS started an investigation at the request of Muns's family, 30 years later. LeBrun, who also worked at the reimbursing office at the time, confessed to being the real thief, to have murdered Muns when he confronted him over it, and to have disposed of the body in one of the ship's tankers. However, he recanted later and the confession was considered not admissible before the court. Nevertheless, Muns was officially cleared and given a burial with military honors at [[Arlington National Cemetery]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.mhsclassof1961.50megs.com/contact.html|title=The Andrew Muns Story|website=www.mhsclassof1961.50megs.com}}</ref></small> |- | [[Murder of Reyna Marroquín|Reyna Angélica Marroquín]] | Howard B.

In 1999, Marroquín's mummified body was found in a barrel at Elkins's previous home, which he had sold in 1972. She was pregnant at the time of her death, and a DNA test of the fetus identified Elkins as the father. Elkins committed suicide the day after he was interrogated by detectives about the murder.</small> |}
