On March 13, 1981 the burned remains of a green 1972 Chevy Blazer were found in a rural area near Shepherdsville, Kentucky; inside was the body of the owner, Douglas Hedrick, a 31-year-old white man. An autopsy showed the fire did not cause his death — he had been shot multiple times — and the blaze appears to have been set to hide the killing.

Investigators traced Hedrick’s connections to his home in the Unionville area of Indiana and concluded the shooting likely occurred there before the vehicle and body were moved to the remote Kentucky location and torched. Despite an investigation, no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced; the case eventually went cold.

Does anyone remember Douglas, his Blazer, or unusual activity between Unionville and Shepherdsville in March 1981?
