Hell and Gone Murder Line: Elaine Nix Part 3

On September 20, 1999, in Gainesville, Georgia, 18 year old Elaine Nix disappeared from Zack’s food rack gas station and convenience store, the Candler Highway, where she had gone to talk to her boyfriend Billy Millwood.  They spoke for an hour on that payphone between around 1110 pm and just after midnight - phone records confirmed this - and then Elaine hung up with Billy and according to him, she was heading back home.  She never arrived.  Nine days after she disappeared, her body was found. Twenty five years later, her case is still unsolved.  Last week we were able to get access to Elaine’s autopsy report - we went to CrimeCon this week so this episode will be a bit shorter than usual but I wanted to update you all on what’s going on with this confession letter supposedly written by a local businessman named James A. Walters - aka Big Jim Walters - and what we’re doing to track down the origins of that mysterious letter.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
