	<span style="line-height:1.5;">Paula
Jean Oberbroeckling, age 18, left her Cedar Rapids apartment on July 11, 1970,
and never returned. She supposedly left to run an errand but did not come back.
Her body was found along the banks of the Cedar R</span><span style="line-height:1.5;">iver in late November 1970.
After 47 years, Paula¡¯s family still does not know what happened to her between
the time she left her apartment and the time when her body was found. In 2017
the case remains an open, unsolved homicide. This paper employs environmental
criminology as a tool to identify individuals linked to the case that may be
able to supply authorities with more information. Three hundred and six
potential persons of interest were identified from the available documentation.
A social and geographic data analysis elevated the profiles of eleven potential
persons of interest.</span>
