In June 1978 two young people from Michigan were found shot to death near the Arkansas–Missouri border. Their remains were discovered on June 17, 1978: the male victim, later identified as James Hendricks, was located in Pemiscot County, Missouri, and the female victim was found about 12 miles away in Blytheville, Arkansas. Both had last been seen together at a truck stop in Missouri and investigators believe one person killed them both.

Flooding had damaged parts of the original case files, including fingerprint records, but dental charts and DNA information were preserved. The male victim’s fingerprints were matched in May 2017 to James Hendricks through improved fingerprint technology, which led police to contact his family. That contact produced the name Kimberlin Mills; a DNA sample from her brother produced a match at the Arkansas State Crime Lab in December 2017, and in February 2018 the female victim was formally identified as Kimberlin Mills.

The identifications closed a long period in which both victims were unidentified, but no suspect has been publicly named and no arrests have been announced. Did anyone who knew Kimberlin Mills or James Hendricks in Michigan or who saw them at that truck stop in 1978 have information to add?
