Iowa State Daily covers podcast |
Iowa State freshman Sheila Jean Collins left campus on Jan. 26, 1968. She never arrived home and to this day, her murder remains unsolved.

Pictured are some of the JL MC 390L class who attended in person, from left to right: Amber Mohmand, Molly Blanco, Sierra Hoeger, Morgan Durick, Sydney Novak, Zeke Seuser and Kylee Haueter.
