Teenager Who Disappeared After 1983 QUIET RIOT Concert Confirmed Dead

March 26, 2009

Pat Curtis of Radio Iowa reports that DNA evidence has confirmed that a young woman found dead in Texas nearly 26 years ago is a Davenport, Iowa teenager that went missing after a rock concert. Seventeen-year-old Bambi Dick (pictured below) disappeared on September 29, 1983 after seeing the band QUIET RIOT at Col Ballroom.

A little over a week later, an unidentified woman was found strangled to death along a highway north of Amarillo, Texas. Amarillo Police Lieutenant Gary Trupe says Sergeant Modeina Holmes has worked on the case ever since.

"Modeina was just not going to let this go," Trupe said. "She was going to stay here as long as it took to identify her and thankfully we did." Holmes retired in 2000, but returned part-time in 2002. She went so far as to send 18,000 letters to optometrists around the country.
