In 1963, 52-year-old Irene Wilson was violently killed inside her home in the Broomstick area of Calhoun County. Those who knew Irene described her as a devoted Christian and a respected, well-liked member of the local community. At the time of the attack, her husband was away at work, employed as a night watchman. When he attempted to call home and received no answer, he became alarmed and contacted nearby neighbors to check on her. Two teenage girls were sent to the house, where they discovered Irene’s body and the horrific scene inside.

In 1998, a hitchhiker was struck by a vehicle near Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Before losing consciousness, he reportedly told rescuers his name was Steve Hix and that he was from West Virginia. But investigators were never able to confirm who he really was.

After surviving for years with severe injuries, the unidentified man died in 2002—still without a verified identity.
