Mississippi County Does
The Mississippi County Does are two unidentified murder victims who were discovered on 17 June 1978. As of 2014, their identities and murderer have not been discovered.[1][2]
Case[edit]
A white male and female were discovered on 17 June 1978 in Blytheville, Mississippi County, Arkansas. Although they were found fifteen miles away from each other, they were likely murdered by the same person, as the pair were reportedly seen together prior to the murders at a truck stop in the same town and were believed to have been dropped off by a man. Due to flooding, their case files had been damaged, including the loss of their fingerprint records, although their dental charts and DNA information remain intact.[3][4]
Victims[edit]
The male victim's age range was between twenty-five and his early thirties and the woman was between eighteen and twenty five, although The Doe Network reports that she could have been as old as thirty-five.[3] The man had some teeth missing and the female had multiple teeth that had not yet erupted.[2] Her hair was likely brown, but was likely dyed blond at one point in the past, as its color was darker toward the roots. The word "Kim" was amateurishly tattooed on her right arm, which could possibly have been her or her child's name, as her autopsy concluded that she had bore at least one child.[2][3] She was shot once in the head with a shotgun; her companion had suffered three shots to his neck and head.[3] Her possessions included a mercury dime necklace and a multicolored striped shirt and jeans.[4][1] Unlike the female victim, the man was discovered in Pemiscot County, Missouri, where it is believed the murders took place.[3][4][5]
