“We are asking the public to take a look at this quilt and call us if you know anything about it. We are hoping that it will lead us to Cathy’s killer.
Zimmer’s body was found covered by the quilt in her Chrysler New Yorker at the San Jose Airport on March 10, 1989.
That spring day more than two decades ago, Zimmer was the 38-year-old mother of two teens, taking business classes at San Jose State and working part-time at a real estate office.
Detectives said she drove the kids to school, had lunch with a friend and attended two college classes, detectives said in a release. She had a 2:45 p.m. eye doctor appointment to check her newly-fitted contact lenses in Los Gatos.
She missed the appointment, and another at a motivational group. She did not come home that night.
Two days later, police found her car parked in the short-term lot at the San Jose airport.
Her dead body was in the backseat, covered by the quilt. No one close to the victim could identify the quilt.”
