BOSTON (CBS) – Next week marks the 25th anniversary of the horrific murder of Karina Holmer in Boston and police are asking the public for help solving the case.

Holmer was a 20-year-old au pair working for a family in Dover where she cared for two children.

On June 22, 1996, she went out to the now-closed Zanzibar nightclub on Bolyston Place in the theater district. That was the last time her friends saw her alive.

Her torso was later found in a Boston dumpster.

She had only been in the Boston area for a few months at the time of her murder.
