Kerry Ann Graham (November 12, 1963 - December 1978) was a teenager whose skeletal remains were found in Willits, California with her friend, Francine Trimble. Both victims were identified in 2015; the announcement was made in February 2016.

Case

Kerry's date of disappearance was inaccurately listed as December 24, 1979, although her body was found in July 1979. As a result, the victims were not compared to the missing friends until this was corrected.

Neither victim's death cause could be determined, but both were bound in plastic and duct tape, indicating homicide. Kerry's remains were initially thought to be male after a 1980 examination. DNA later suggested they belonged to a female.

Investigators suspect the teens may have fallen victim to Rodney Alcala or another serial killer.
