On October 10, 1962, Lucille Elaine DeVries, a 22-year-old secretary for an Iowa insurance company, was discovered inside her car after her vehicle was completely engulfed by flames.
When the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) established a Cold Case Unit in late 2009, Lucille DeVries’s murder was one of approximately 150 cases listed on the Cold Case Unit’s new website as those the DCI hoped to solve using latest advancements in DNA technology. Although the Cold Case Unit closed down in December 2011 due to lack of funding, the DCI continues to investigate cases where progress was being made. They also follow up on any new leads provided in these cases.
