The Redhead Murders were a series of unsolved killings that took place across several Southern states in the U.S. during the early to mid-1980s. The victims—at least six women, possibly more—were all young, light-complexioned, and had reddish or strawberry-blonde hair. Their bodies were discovered along highways in states like Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, West Virginia, and Mississippi.

Many of the women were never identified for years, and investigators believed they were likely hitchhikers, sex workers, or women living on the margins of society, making them vulnerable targets. The murders shared similar patterns: victims were strangled or asphyxiated and left near major roadways.

Despite investigations and task forces, the case remains unsolved. In recent years, DNA technology and renewed interest have helped identify some of the Jane Does, such as Tina Farmer and Lisa Nichols, but the killer—or killers—have never been conclusively caught.
