Linda Marie Vanderveen murder 2/12/1979 Grand Rapids, MI *Albert Lee III was convicted and sentenced to LWOP*

Linda Vanderveen

In reading comments on several stories about Linda Vanderveen’s murder, people kept saying things like “Why keep bringing this up” or “This is not news”. Well, I say to all of them – this victim, as well as ALL victims need to always be remembered. Never forget them. Never forget Linda. She lived. She was and is loved.

I hope that this is true. And interesting that it happens now, when tomorrow, May 25, is the 33rd anniversary of his disappearance and National Missing Children’s Day. This may help his parents deal with what has happened, although please don’t misunderstand. It will not provide closure as so many believe and will talk about. There is no such thing as closure for a murder victim’s loved ones and family.
