Huntsville, Alabama

October 16, 1997

On October 16, 1997, a hunter discovered the skeletal remains of this unidentified child in a remote wooded area of Madison County, Alabama, near Indian Creek Road, South of Kelly Spring Road. Indian Creek Road is near a major roadway - Alabama Highway 53. The highway is a connector that runs between Huntsville, Alabama and Interstate 65 in Ardmore, Tenn. It is possible the killer came from another state and chose the location at random.  The body was wrapped in plastic sheeting commonly used in construction. The plastic was secured with gray duct tape. Investigators believe that sometime in late 1996, the nude body of the teenaged girl was dumped in Madison County’s Indian Creek.  The body drifted down the creek, and washed onto the bank. It was found by a hunter.
