The Orange Socks Murder (Williamson County, Texas, 1979)

On Halloween 1979, the body of an unidentified woman—later nicknamed “Orange Socks” for the only clothing she wore—was found in a culvert off Interstate 35. Infamous serial killer Henry Lee Lucas confessed to the murder but later recanted, complicating the case. It wasn’t until 2019 that her true identity was established through DNA.
