Status Unsolved
Incident Location 13400 Mt Pleasant
Jacksonville, Florida, 32225
Duval County
L.E.A Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, Jacksonville, Florida
Debra Lynn O'Quinn's blood was found splattered on the tile floor, walls and bedsheets of her Southside apartment about 2:30 a.m. Dec. 10, 1979, by her roommate's brother. O'Quinn never returned to the apartment in the 4000 block of Barnes Road. After a fruitless six-month search, two men shooting at targets in the woods near Mount Pleasant Road stumbled upon her skeletal remains. She'd been fatally stabbed. Police charged notorious Death Row inmate Henry Lee Lucas with O'Quinn's death in September 1983. Two years later, Lucas recanted his confession to the slaying. Walter P. O'Quinn told the Times-Union in 1985 he considered the case solved with Lucas' confession. He and his wife, Carole, have since died. Anyone who has any information about this case, the identity, or location of the suspect(s) is asked to contact the Jacksonville Sheriff`s Office at 904-630-0500 or email them at JSOCrimeTips@jaxsheriff.org. To remain anonymous and receive a possible reward up to $3,000, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS.
