I am looking for information on a Rosalyn Leva died in Amarillo, Texas on January 4, 1978......looking for her family...she was about 25 when she died....
Rita
Would really appreciate any info possible...

Rita, there isn't an obiturary in the Amarillo paper. The only thing that was found was the accounts of finding her body and the search for identifying it. The final article was that she had a drug related death and was from Houston.

I knew Rosalyn. She did die in Amarillo. She was born and raised and lived in Houston and is buried in Houston. She is buried at the Jewish Cemetery located off Airline near the 610 Loop and I45. I haven't spoken with her family since we had Kaddish (sp?) the next year.

Hi Kathy
There is a very long story connected with my search for Rosalyn Leva. I finally found her sister, mother and a brother.They have been very kind and have told us all they know about this. How well did you know her if you don't mind me asking? I will tell you a little of why I was looking for her. Rosalyn had a boy frind at the time of her death his name was Gerald 'Gerry' Batty. He some years later met my niece and murdered her. The police told us he was suspected of Rosalyn's death but they never could prove it. He is now in the Oregon Prison and comes up for parole. My daughter and I go every year and try to make sure he stays where he belongs. If you knew him or anything that could help us I would be so appreciative. Did you know her while she was with him? Rosalyn and Laurie were the same age's and looked very similiar. Anything you might know might help. Thank you very much. My email address is riteastman@aol.com Most Sincerely Rita Eastman

Dear Ruth
Thank you for the information on Rosalyn Leve. Is there any way I could get a copy of the newspaper articles regarding finding her and her death?
It has come to light that the man who killed my niece also killed Rosalyn. He is in Prison in Oregon and we go every year to keep him there. The newspaper articles would be very helpful. The same person was the boy friend of both girls who looked almost identical. The police told us that he was suspected but there was not enough evidence to convict him. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You so very much

Oh, wow. I cannot believe this. I knew Rosalyn, she was my best friend for several years. I knew Gerry and I was always convinced he was responsible for her death. I will email you from home tonight and let's discuss further.
