Murder Of Young Women Remains Mystery Found Dead Feb 18, 1982
AKA: Mrs. X
On a Sunday morning in the spring of 1982, three fishermen discovered the body of a murdered woman partially submerged in Slaughter Creek about 15 yards from where it feed into the Black Warrior River near Foster.
The young, white woman has been severly beaten and sexually assaulted. An autopsy showed that the cause of death was strangulation.
The victim referred to locally as Mrs. X was between 34 and 38 years old when she died, McFerrin said. She had shoulder lenght black hair, brown eyes, was 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighted 110-115 pounds and believe that she had some children. She was wearing light blue, button-up, long sleeve blouse, blue knit pants and gray tennis shoes. She had a partial upper plate with two front teeth missing. Mrs, X's death was two or three days before her body was found. The detectives didn't feel like she was from the local area and could have been a drifter.
The body of Mrs. X was kept for eight months in the Tuscaloosa County Morgue before a Circuit Court judge granted a petition for burial.
After a brief ceremony on December 9, 1982, the body of Mrs. X was buried in Sunset Memorial Park. The unmarked grave is in an area of the cemetery where unclaimed bodies are buried said Earl Mitchell, General Manager of the cemetery and Sunset Funeral Home. No one has ever raised any money to mark her grave he said. He saw one young lady one day placed some flowers on her grave but that was the only person he ever seen around her grave.
Three years later homicide officials continue to search through magazines of missing people and provide information on the victim.
