South Burlington, VT – Vermont State Police are renewing their appeal for information in the decades-old homicide of Marsha Lamonda, marking the anniversary of her reported disappearance and asking anyone with knowledge of the case to come forward.
According to the Vermont State Police, Marsha Lamonda, 25, was reported missing to the South Burlington Police Department on July 6, 1977, Wednesday, after she had last been seen about a week earlier.

Authorities determined that her death was a homicide. Despite the passage of nearly five decades, the case remains unsolved.
Vermont State Police said investigators continue to seek information that could help identify those responsible. Officials are asking anyone with information related to Lamonda’s case—or any other unsolved homicide in Vermont—to contact the Vermont State Police Major Crimes Unit.
Cold case investigations often remain active for years as advances in forensic technology and new witness information can generate investigative leads.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Vermont State Police through its Major Crimes Unit or visit the agency’s unsolved homicide webpage at https://vsp.vermont.gov/unsolved/homicide.
