Lindahl Family History & Genealogy

Bruce Everitt Lindahl was born to Jerome Conrad Lindahl St. (1929-2007) and Arlene "Mickey" Marie Folkens (1931-2004) and had three siblings. Bruce received a lot of press in the early 2020's due to him being the primary suspect behind the murder of a 16 year old girl, Pamela Maurer (see Pamela Maurer), who was strangled in 1976 in Chicago. New DNA testing is showing that on January 13th, 1976 he killed the young teen. Pamela was first reported as missing by her parents when she did not return to her home in Woodridge after she left a friend's house and while walking home went to get a soda. Her body was discovered by a motorist after seeing her purse lying along a road in Lisle. The police believed the killer left Pamela's body alongside the road to make it appear as though she was killed by a hit-and-run. However, a coroner quickly determined that bruises on her neck proved that she was strangled by a nearby rubber hose found near her body. Further investigation proved that Pamela was sexually assaulted likely by someone she had not known shortly after leaving her friend's home. In 2001, 20 years after Pamela's death, forensic evidence gave authorities a DNA profile of her killer. In 2019, further DNA advancements provided investigators a 'snapshot prediction' of the suspect, and combined with genealogy analysis gave detectives the lead they needed to identify the murderer. Once Bruce was identified, police exhumed his body to collect DNA evidence linking him as the killer of Pamela. It is believed that Bruce Lindahl likely molested and killed multiple young girls in several Chicago suburbs, and police are actively investigating. It turns out that 4 and a half years after Pamela's murder Lindahl was charged with kidnapping and sexually assaulting another woman Debra Colliander. Debra however was able to escape after being abducted and called police at a nearby home of Bruce's in Aurora. Bruce was supposed to go to trial, however, Debra disappeared two weeks before the trial was scheduled to begin so authorities had to drop the case. On April 28, 1982, one year after Pamela's murder, Debra's body was found by a farmer in a shallow grave in Oswego Township where Debra's death was ruled a homicide. It is apparent that Bruce killed Debra to protect himself from having to go to trial. As karma would have it, Bruce Lindahl died on April 4th, 1981 when he accidentally slashed his own artery (in his leg) as he was stabbing to death an 18 year old man at his apartment in Naperville. Bruce's victim, Charles Huber, was stabbed 28 times with a kitchen knife before dying next to Lindahl. See 2 men found stabbed to death in Naperville for details. Police discovered numerous photographs of various victims who were murdered between 1974 and 1981 at Bruce's home. Victims were all found at Lisle, Woodridge, Downers Grove and Aurora.
