Halloween: Anniversary of the Dead

Texas is famous for a lot. For example, the music scene has turned out countless chart topping artists such as Leeanne Womack, George Strait and ZzTop just to name a few. The popular eighties nightime drama, Dallas brought tourists from all over to take a look at SouthFork Ranch. Big Tex, our well known spokesperson who has never spoken stands a hundred feet tall, waving to everyone as they walk past him on fair grounds each year. Walker Texas Ranger
filmed here in the metroplex. Movies such as Places in the Heart were filmed in Waxachie,Texas.

Of course, no one will ever forget John F. Kennedy was shot in the big D. From the Texas Chain Saw Massacre to the tragic events in Waco, Texas is also famous for occult related crime. These events could have taken place anywhere, but they just so happened to take place here. Speaking of murder and betrayal, thirty yrs. later the most most famous case of unidentified human remains ever to come out of Texas is still unsolved. October thirty-first marks the anniversary of the death of a young woman who's body was recovered just hours after having been slain. She was found wearing only Orange Socks, hence the orgin of her nickname.

The body was located in a culvery or drain pipe outside Georgetown, near interstate thirty-five. Part of the problem in identifying her has been she may may not be from Texas. A matchbook from Holiday Inn indicated she may have at least passed through Henryetta, Oklahoma. If she was travelling she could be from anywhere. The evidence and location combined, she may have been hitch-hiking.
