On the afternoon of Feb. 9, 1989, the 20-year-old University of Florida student told her roommate she was going for a walk. She was never seen again.
Rowles was linked to Sessions’ disappearance by a cold case detective in 2013, according to the Gainesville Sun . Kevin Allen discovered a possible reference to Sessions while pouring through Rolwes’ notebook.
“2/9/1989,” the date Sessions was last seen, was written on the page. The notebook also contained mentions of two women he killed, including a student at Santa Fe Community College in Gainesville.
