TRAVERSE CITY — Linda Meteer first went missing in April 1989 after going out to a bar near Chums Corner, just south of Traverse City. Her body was found a week later in Hoosier Valley in Blair Township.
For decades, investigators had no strong leads on who might have killed her, but in February of this year, Steven Koon, from Leelanau County, was arrested in connection with her death.
Koon’s preliminary examination was held Thursday and the judge determined there was enough evidence to send the case to trial.

Koon is charged with open murder and has pleaded not guilty.
Northern Michigan’s News Leader will continue to follow this case as it progresses.
