On July 1, 2007, the body of 44-year-old Lucille Marie Carter, known to some as Greta, was found next to a trash bin on a service road in Birmingham, Alabama. She was discovered nude, with a plastic bag taped around her head, and had been fatally shot with a .22 caliber weapon.

Investigation soon focused on over-the-road truck driver Bruce D. Mendenhall, who was arrested in Tennessee on July 12, 2007. A search of his truck reportedly recovered the blood of several women and linked him to a string of killings across Alabama, Indiana, Tennessee, and Georgia. Authorities charged Mendenhall in Birmingham with Carter’s murder on July 28.

Mendenhall was later convicted in other states and received multiple lengthy prison terms. Jefferson County prosecutors consulted with Carter’s family, who decided not to pursue an Alabama trial; the murder warrant in Jefferson County was recalled and the case was closed. Did anyone who knew Lucille Carter or saw her in Birmingham in 2007 notice anything that could still help clarify her final movements?
