Murder of Jimmy Hendricks and Kim Mills

Jimmy Hendricks and Kim Mills are murder victims who were discovered on June 17, 1978. The pair were believed to have been seen together at a truck stop in Missouri, which is where the murders took place. The female victim was disposed of in Mississippi County, Arkansas and the male was left at the presumed murder scene. Jimmy was identified in May 2017, Kim's ID has not yet been confirmed. Neither had been reported missing. Both were from Michigan. Case: A white male and female were discovered on June 17, 1978 in Pemiscot County, Missouri and Blytheville, Mississippi County, Arkansas, respectively. Although they were found 15 miles from each other, they were likely murdered by the same person, as the pair were reportedly seen together before the murders at a truck stop in the same town and were believed to have been dropped off by a man. Due to flooding, their case files were damaged, including the loss of their fingerprint records, although their dental charts and DNA information remain intact. In September 2017, both victims were identified. Victims: The male victim's age range was between 25 and his early 30s. He was discovered in Pemiscot County, Missouri, where it is believed the murders took place. He had blue eyes, brown hair and a light complexion with freckles. This victim had a tattoo on his right arm, which consisted of the letters "J" and "H." He was estimated to be five feet eight inches tall and at a weight of 130 to 140 pounds. He had a distinctive vertical scar on his forehead, the cause of which is unknown. He wore a red shirt containing a graphic of a woman enclosed inside of a circle, with the words "hot sauce" underneath. Other clothing included size nine or ten boots and blue jeans. Some of his teeth were reported to have been missing. Unlike his companion, who was shot once, he had suffered three to his neck and head. The woman was between 18 and 25, although The Doe Network reports that she could have been as old as 35. Her hair was naturally brown, but was likely dyed blond, as its color was darker toward the roots. The word "Kim" was amateurishly tattooed on her right arm, which could possibly have been her own or her child's name, as her autopsy concluded that she had borne at least one child. Some of her teeth had yet to erupt. She was shot once in the head with a shotgun. Her possessions included a mercury dime necklace and a multicolored striped shirt and jeans.
