Melinda Joyce Holder was a young woman who was found deceased in northeast Florida after a fire at an abandoned residence.
Case
Holder was last seen in Green Cove Springs, Florida on January 24, 1989. Her family did not report her missing until June 12 as she was known to go without contact from time to time.
On December 10 1989, the Clay County Fire and Rescue responded to a house fire on 404 Harrison Street in Green Cove Springs, Florida. The house had been abandoned for some time and had been frequented by transients and hard drug users.
Holder's remains were discovered inside the house. According to the medical examiner, she had been dead for days prior to the house fire and it did not appear that she was murdered, as there was no evidence of antemortem trauma or disease.
Reconstruction
Clothing and accessories
