Horton's strong starter conjecture for finite abelian groups

From papers

Let GG be an abelian group of odd order g3g\geq 3. A strong starter in GG is a starter whose pair sums are distinct and nonzero. Horton's conjecture. There is a strong starter in GG if and only if GZ3,Z5,Z9G\neq \mathbb{Z}_3,\mathbb{Z}_5,\mathbb{Z}_9 or Z3×Z3\mathbb{Z}_3\times\mathbb{Z}_3. This generalizes the cyclic special case and is described in the source as still far from solved.
