I am not sure this is the proper forum for this question or not, but here goes anyway.
Back in about 1980 I was traveling North on I-55 in the bootheel of Missouri. I noticed a silver Ford Granada stopped on the right shoulder of the north bound lane. Just as I passed the vehicle, a young woman jumped out of the passenger's side and started running up the highway. The driver also jumped out and started chasing her. This bothered me so much, I took the next exit and went back South. I never saw the vehicle again, neither North bound nor stopped. I reversed course and went on my way to my home in Cape Girardeau. The next morning the TV news had a story about a young female that had been found murdered along I-55 in the bootheel.
I called the Pemiscott County Sheriff and related the story. He said that several truckers had also come forward with the same information and asked me come down to see if I could ID the victim. I did but unfortunately I could not say it was the same person. The clothes were not right and her face had taken a shotgun blast at close range. In addition, the body was South of the incident I had witnessed.
To the best of my knowledge the victim was never ID'ed and the case was never solved. My question is: How can I find out if the case was ever solved? I once heard that Henry Lee Lucas had confessed but was never charged.
