🐕Deborah "Deb" Lynn Polinsky🐕
She was fiercely independent. She liked to do it her way and she was very strong-willed and loved animals. Deb loved her pets.
She was born on February 16th, 1957 to Roger Buikema and Mrs. D. Polinski. She had four brothers and four sisters.
Deb was known to frequent the Holland and Saugatuck areas and had attended Holland Public Schools. She dropped out of Holland High School when she was 16 to go out on her own.
At age 20, in 1977, Deb lived at a two-story farmhouse she rented located at 15123 New Holland Drive, Port Sheldon Township with her beloved pets, including a cat, a duck named Dudley, and her German Shepherd named Thor. Deb was often seen in her red, VW Beetle and in the company of Thor. She worked second shift at Depree Chemical Company.
Deb was last seen on Saturday, July 23rd, by family and friends.
On Tuesday, July 26th, Deb had failed to show up for work two days in a row. It was around noon when coworker drove out to the farmhouse and discovered her nude body with Thor standing protectively nearby. Deb had been sexually assaulted on her bed and then stabbed to death. Most of the stab wounds were to her chest, but there was some on other parts of her body. There was no weapon found next to the body, but there was some sharp objects around the house taken into evidence. She had some bruising that indicated that there was some kind of a struggle and that she may have been beaten. There were no signs of forced entry and her animals were still in the home. Thor, was very protective which led to the popular belief that Deb knew her attacker.
