ISB and Parabon followed up on leads by identifying potential relatives in the United States. Through this process a more realistic composite photo was produced. In the fall of 2020, ISB worked with Marshall University and Parabon Nano Labs to genotype the DNA and get a better profile to include ancestry, origin locations, as well as a better physical description for the unidentified victim. Lucas stated the victim was a female hitchhiker that he picked up on Highway 41 between Fresno, California and Yosemite National Park in the early 1980s. He had information about this murder that had not been made public and could only be known by the person who committed the crime. The suspect in this case, Henry Lee Lucas, was interviewed in the 1980s and died in prison in 2001. Forensic Anthropologists believed the victim was at least in her late teens but could have been as old as 30. ![]() This facial reconstruction was made from the victim’s skull without the jaw.

My dad did right quick and the guy calmed down and was like "Oh sorry, thought you were someone, would you like some candy." Dude was the nicest guy but man flashbacks and moments like those must suck. Gave this poor Vet a freak out, he was yelling at my dad to show his face. One example was for Halloween my dad took my sister (and my mom was with them) out trick or treating dressed as an army guy with a gas mask and fake rats on him called Captain Rat. It was a big problem and still is for combat vets. From what I've read some of these individuals were vets and, at least in the 80s, were men (and women) suffering from mental issues from the war and other things, and they, in some cases, have breaks from reality. It's really not that hard to get lost in the woods or hide there if you know what to do and how to do it. ![]() Most missing person cases I tend to think, in these places, are people like that man. They found a tent with his shit a month after the incident with some of the kids things, but never found the guy.

There was a case on unsolved mysteries years ago, where two teens, 18 years old, went out in the woods to do some night hunting, trying to recall the southern state. ![]() They are hard to track down even if you know they exist. People tend to forget that there are some, less then sane individuals that live off the grid.
