Lisa Nichols was 28 when her body was found in the autumn of 1984 alongside Interstate 40 near West Memphis, Arkansas. She had been strangled and was discovered wearing only a sweater. Investigators believe she may have been hitchhiking from a truck stop before her death. Her remains were not identified until 1985 by a couple she had previously stayed with.

Authorities have linked Nichols to a series of similar killings attributed to an unidentified figure dubbed the Bible Belt Strangler, and to the broader Redhead Murders because several victims, including Nichols, had reddish hair. Those cases occurred across Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, mainly between the late 1970s and the early 1990s. No arrests or specific publicly identified suspects have been announced; independent investigators have suggested a possible truck driver based in Knoxville, Tennessee, but no conclusive evidence has been presented.

Does anyone who knew Lisa or who traveled I-40 in 1984 have information that could help the investigation?
