Exxie LaFaye Wilson was 20 when she was killed on June 23, 1980. Her severed head was discovered wrapped in a t-shirt inside a small pine box in a Studio City alley; her decapitated body was found later in a restaurant parking lot. The coroner determined she died from a gunshot wound to the back of the head and that the decapitation, which required numerous cuts, occurred after death.

Her killing was linked to a series of slayings later labeled the Sunset Strip Murders. Investigators tied the crimes to Douglas Daniel Clark and Carol Mary Bundy.

Bundy confessed on August 11, 1980, in connection with the murder of her former lover Jack Murray and implicated Clark in the other murders, which led to arrests. Clark was convicted of six counts of first-degree murder, including Exxie’s, and sentenced to death; Bundy was convicted and sentenced to life without parole.

Did anyone who knew Exxie or saw her in Los Angeles that summer notice anything unusual that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
