Dr. Timothy Stryker

Her hair was messed up.

She seemed upset.

One person saw her slamming medical charts around and stomping down this hospital hallway.

It was September 30th, 1993.

the last time anyone has reported seeing her alive.

Lynn was supposed to be out of town for the weekend, so her absence didn't worry anyone for a few days.

I didn't really start to get concerned until Saturday night because, you know, she would go a day without calling me.

But, you know, to go two days without calling me didn't feel right.

And then four days after she had last been seen at the hospital, Stryker got a phone call.

Lynn had been found.

They had located her car.

And then after I got up to the hospital, one of the midwives actually at the hospital walked in the hall with me to say, well, you know, they found her body.

She's dead.

Dr. Lynn Gowdy was found face down, wrapped in a blanket in the back of her car, parked in a remote corner of the hospital parking lot.

Her colleague, Paula Dennett, was at work in the hospital.

Lisa Zolot went to the scene and bumped into Tim Stryker.

He had his own theory about what happened.

But Stryker says Lynn had struggled with depression and talked about suicide.

Just a few months before her body was found, he says Lynn left him a note that said, I want to be dead.

But it took the medical examiner, Dr. Stanton Kessler, just moments to determine this was no suicide.
