Tammy Lynn Leppert was an American beauty queen and model. She had a few acting roles in the early 1980s but mysteriously disappeared at the age of 18. Her disappearance has generated much publicity, and her case remains open.
In 1965, Leppert was born in Rockledge, Florida. The city was a fashionable resort town in the late 19th century and early 20th century. By the 1960s, it had turned into a bedroom community for the nearby Kennedy Space Center. Leppert was a curly-haired blonde girl with hazel eyes. Around 1969, the 4-year-old Leppert participated in her first beauty contest.
Leppert spent most of her childhood in near-constant competition for beauty pageants. She is estimated to have been a contestant in about 300 beauty pageants and to have won about 280 crowns. She started a modeling career in her late childhood and continued modeling into her teen years. In 1978, her photos appeared in the magazine "CoverGirl".
Leppert had aspirations for an acting career, though she lacked formal training in acting. In 1980, she had a bit part in the teen-oriented comedy-drama film "Little Darlings". The film's plot revolved around two teenage girls who placed a bet on which of them would lose her virginity first, while several other girls took an interest in their contest.
In 1983, Leppert appeared as a female participant in a boxing match featured in the sex comedy "Spring Break". After the end of the film's shooting, Leppert decided to party. She went unaccompanied to a weekend party but reportedly had a disturbing experience there. After she returned home, Leppert started displaying signs of paranoia and persecutory beliefs. She was convinced that somebody would try to kill her and started taking precautions to prevent anyone from placing poison in her food and drink.
Leppert's last acting role was in a key scene of the crime drama film "Scarface". Her role was that of a bikini-clad girl who intentionally distracts the lookout car, preventing its occupants from intervening in a torture scene. Leppert reportedly displayed irrational behavior on the film's set and was escorted to her home after the fourth day of filming.
After Leppert stopped working on "Scarface", Leppert's mother became convinced that something was wrong with her daughter. She arranged for Leppert to undergo a medical evaluation in a medical center. After staying there for 72 hours, Leppert was released. The examining doctor found no signs of drug or alcohol use in Leppert, and she appeared to be physically healthy.
On July 6, 1983, Leppert arranged for a male friend to drive her to an unspecified location. They argued during the drive, and the friend dropped her off at Cocoa Beach, Florida, not far from Leppert's residence. He was the last person to see her alive. Leppert vanished without a trace, and the police and FBI soon started investigating her disappearance. As of the early 2020s, the investigative authorities have acquired a DNA profile of Leppert, but they do not have her dental records and fingerprints.
The FBI has theorized that Leppert was killed by serial killer Christopher Wilder (1945-1984), an amateur photographer who habitually targeted models and beauty contestants to rape and kill. Wilder lived in Florida from 1969 to 1984, and he went on a cross-country crime spree a few months following Leppert's disappearance. However, there is no physical evidence tying him to the case. Another major suspect was John Brennan Crutchley (1946-2002), a convicted rapist and kidnapper who was also suspected of being both a serial killer and a professional spy. Crutchley moved to Florida in 1983 and resided in the same county as Leppert. However, authorities were never able to prove that Crutchley had ever killed anyone.
Leppert's disappearance has ensured enduring fame from her, and she is often featured in true-crime books and documentaries. Various investigative authorities have repeatedly announced possible new leads when unidentified female corpses with superficial similarities to Leppert have been discovered. Between 1984 and 2014, the remains of 13 different women were compared to physical samples from Leppert, but none of them was an exact match. It is not clear whether Leppert is still alive or long gone.- Katherine Redmond was born on 9 October 1965 in San Francisco, California, USA. She died on 7 April 1984 in Marion County, Oregon, USA.

- A 26-year old African-American named Anthony Sears is now famous for being the fifth victim of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. He was bisexual, had a girlfriend and worked at the Bakers Square restaurant in Milwaukee. Sears met Dahmer on the evening of March 25, 1989 at the Milwaukee gay club "La Cage". Later that night, when the bar closed, Sears' friend Jeffrey Connor drove him, Dahmer and Bob Keel, another friend of his, back to his grandmother's house. Before Connor let Anthony and Dahmer go, he reminded Sears that he was going to spend time with his family on Easter and asked him to call him in case he needed a ride back home. He had since never been seen again. According to his mother Marilyn, who didn't know he was going to be dead, Anthony was planning to see her on the next day to celebrate his recent promotion at his job at the Bakers Square restaurant as a manager, but he never showed up. As for Dahmer, he brought Sears inside his grandmother's house, where they had sex and Dahmer gave him a drink that put him to sleep. Once Sears fell asleep, Dahmer killed and dismembered his body, mummifying his head and penis, while the rest of the body was disposed. He eventually boiled his face by removing the skin and kept his skull as a souvenir. According to Dahmer, the body parts of Sears were in a black cabinet when he was serving a one-year sentence for a second degree sexual assault charge involving a teenage boy. In late July 1991, two years after his murder, Sears' remains were identified by a local coroner, when the world discovered the infamous ruthless serial killer of all time: Jeffrey Dahmer.

Born on February 1, 1965 to Bruce Lee (Martial Arts idol) and Linda Lee Cadwell. Brother to Shannon Lee. In 1970-71, they moved to Hong Kong, where Brandon lived until age eight, becoming fluent in Cantonese. By the time he was able to walk, he was already involved in learning about martial arts from his father.
Brandon attended high school in Los Angeles, where he realized that he had also inherited acting ability along with his martial arts skills. In 1983, he was expelled from school because of misbehavior, but received his diploma at Miraleste High School. He continued his education and interest in acting at Emerson College in Massachusetts, where he majored in theatre. Having chosen an acting career, he studied at the Strasberg Academy, with Eric Morris in New York and in Los Angeles, and in Lynette Katselas' class in Los Angeles.
His first professional job as an actor came at age twenty, when casting director Lynn Stalmaster asked him to read for a CBS television film, Kung Fu: The Movie (1986). Lee's first role in a feature film was Legacy of Rage (1986) (aka "Legacy of Rage" (1986)) for D.M. Films of Hong Kong, followed by a co-starring role in Showdown in Little Tokyo (1991). He was also in Rapid Fire (1992), and The Crow (1994). He turned down offers to be in Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (1993).
Brandon died (while filming) at the age of 28, of what is to be believed, a brain hemorrhage on the set of The Crow (1994). The film crew shot a scene in which it was decided to use a gun without consent from the weapons coordinator, who had been sent home early that night. They handed Michael Massee the gun loaded with full power blanks and shot the scene, unaware that a bullet had become dislodged from a previous shot and had lodged itself in the barrel. Upon shooting of the scene the blank round forced the bullet out the barrel striking Brandon Lee. The crew only noticed when Lee was slow getting up. The doctors worked desperately for five hours, but it was no use. The bullet had lodged itself in Mr Lee's lower spine. He was pronounced dead at 1:04 P.M. the next day. He was supposed to marry Eliza Hutton on April 17, 1993. His body was flown to Seattle to be buried beside his father in Lake View Cemetery.- Soundtrack
Mia Zapata grew up listening to Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, Jimmy Reed, Ray Charles and Hank Williams. She was also a gifted poet and artist. In the fall of 1986, she formed a rock band called The Gits with three classmates at Antioch College in Ohio. In 1989, they relocated to Seattle, where grunge rock and street punk was burgeoning. The Gits quickly gained popularity in the Seattle music scene of the early 1990s, and major record labels took notice. But just as The Gits were poised to explode onto the national music scene, tragedy struck. On July 7, 1993, Mia was raped and murdered while walking home. Her murder remained unsolved for a decade, prompting numerous conspiracy theories, including that she was killed by a rival band, stalked by a rabid fan, or that a Satanic cult was involved. Finally, using old DNA evidence, a Cuban drifter was convicted in 2004 of Mia's murder and is serving a 37-year sentence.
The Seattle music community had been shattered by death many times in the early 1990s. In 1990, Mother Love Bone singer Andrew Wood died of a heroin overdose. In 1991, local poet Jesse Bernstein shot himself. Stefanie Sargent of 7 Year Bitch overdosed in 1992. Kurt Cobain of Nirvana committed suicide in 1994. All of these deaths altered the local music scene, but because Mia's death was a homicide, her memory in particular haunted the community. Many bands broke up after her murder, and her posters still hang in clubs and cafés.
In response to her murder, friends created a women's self-defense group called Home Alive, which produces fundraising concerts and CDs with the participation of Seattle's music elite, including Pearl Jam, Heart, and the Presidents of the United States. Joan Jett recorded an album with the surviving members of The Gits.- Reggie Lewis was born on 21 November 1965 in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. He was married to Donna Harris.

He died on 14 June 1994 in Los Angeles, California, USA.- Corwin Anthony Hawkins was born in Houston, Texas on March 12, 1965. He attended St. Peter's Catholic School and graduated in 1982.
Corwin was well known throughout Texas for his hilarious two hour stand up comedy routine which he performed in front of standing room only crowds every Tuesday night for four years. His many memorable characters like: Kelly Kelly, Debra Debra, Fanisha Poontane and Miku Waka were favorites to the Dallas natives, he also impersonated many famous stars like Whitney Houston, Diana Ross, Mariah Carey and of course Grace Jones.
While every performance was totally improvised he held the attention of the audience with many wardrobe changes of beautiful dresses and expensive shoes. As Amazing Grace, Hawkins went against the grain with wardrobe. Opting against the traditional long, flowing, evening gown that was prevalent to many female impersonators of the day, Amazing Grace was known for her immaculate Bob hairstyle, Chanel two-piece suits, and Ferragamo shoes. The look was less pageant queen, and more 'ladies who lunch'. Yet the look was a clever contrast to the wild, untamed fireball comedy that would unfold over the course of a show.
If you were lucky enough to get a table near the front you can be sure to be brought up on stage as a prop for the rest of the night. You would be held prisoner to his wild and zany antics and may be forced to sing, dance or even talk you into taking off your clothes to the delight of everyone. Many famous people who attended his shows while they were visiting Dallas included Keith Carradine, Lucy Arnaz and Grace Jones to name a few.
Corwin won many female impersonator competitions. In 1991, as Amazing Grace, was crowned Miss Gay Texas. The next year he took the title of Texas Entertainer of the Year and went on to capture the 1992 National Entertainer of the Year title in Louisville, Kentucky.
Corwin was discovered by Keenan Ivory Wayans while appearing on Def Comedy Jam, B.E.T. and HBO Comedy specials. Corwin accepted the role of (Wayman), a part originally written for Ms. RuPaul. He was also awarded an invitational tryout at the L. A. Improv.
