Murder of Jimmy Hendricks and Kim Mills

Reconstructions of the victims

Hendricks's age range was between 25 and his early 30s; this placed his birth between c. 1948 and 1953.[8] He was discovered in Pemiscot County, Missouri, where it is believed the murders took place.[6][7][9] He had blue eyes, brown hair and a light complexion with freckles. Hendricks had a tattoo on his right arm, which consisted of the letters "J" and "H", later found to be his initials. He was estimated to be 5 feet 8 inches (1.73 m) tall and weighing 130 to 140 pounds (59 to 64 kg). He had a distinctive vertical scar on his forehead, the cause of which was unknown. He wore a red shirt containing a graphic of a woman enclosed inside a circle, with the words "hot sauce" underneath. Other clothing included size nine or ten boots and blue jeans. Some of his teeth were reported to have been missing.[8]

Unlike Mills, who was shot once, Hendricks had suffered three bullet wounds to his neck and head.[5]

Mills was determined to be between the ages of 18 and 25, although possibly as old as 35; this placed her birth between c. 1943 and 1960.[6] Her hair was naturally brown, but was likely dyed blond, as its color was darker toward the roots. The word "Kim" was amateurishly tattooed on her right arm; this was speculated, before her identification, to have been her own or her child's name, as her autopsy concluded that she had borne at least one child. Some of her teeth had yet to erupt.[2][6] She was shot once in the head with a shotgun.[6] Her possessions included a mercury dime necklace and a multicolored striped shirt and jeans.[1][7]
