On March 12, 1983, the body of 39-year-old Nancy Bettman was found by a group of boys in a creek beside a Jefferson County, Kentucky golf course. She was partially nude and had been killed by a single gunshot to the back of her head.

Investigators later tied Bettman’s killing to two earlier murders in the county: 15-year-old Robin L. Barnes, found May 18, 1981 with three gunshot wounds and signs of sexual assault, and 29-year-old Shannon House, found March 25, 1982 in a wooded area, also shot and sexually assaulted. Ballistics testing showed the same .360 caliber pistol was used in all three slayings.

The probe produced a surviving victim who escaped an abduction and gave a detailed description of her attacker. That lead pointed to Beoria Abraham Simmons III, who confessed and was charged with multiple counts including murder, rape, and kidnapping; he received a death sentence that was later commuted to life without parole.

Did anyone in Jefferson County know Nancy’s routines or see her near the golf course that March day?
