Jennifer Odom // 280

In February of 1993, a 12-year-old girl disappeared near her home in rural Florida after a day at school. Her community banded together to find her, but six days after she went missing, her body was found in an orange grove 10 miles from the bus stop where she had last been seen. With multiple suspects in mind and a vehicle description, police worked hard to catch her killer. This is the murder of Jennifer Odom.
