Nameless Tombstone Woman Found On Halloween 1979
In Williamson County Texas a nameless woman known as Orange Socks was found dead in a culvert along Interstate 35 on Halloween 1979. Henry Lee Lucas was later sentenced to death for her murder, though he now denies involvement. Her grave at Georgetown IOOF Cemetery bears only Unidentified Woman 1979. She was an unshaven white woman aged about 20 to 25, 5 feet 9 inches, 158 pounds with hazel eyes, brown hair, and red nail polish, buried with a rose carved on a marker beside Civil War and Spanish American War veterans. The case remains linked to Lucas’s conviction and the unresolved mystery of her identity.
