Hell and Gone Murder Line: Elaine Nix Part 2

On September 20, 1999, in Gainesville, Georgia, 18 year old Elaine Nix pulled into a roadside convenience store off highway 60 south - the Candler Highway - called Zack’s Food Rack.  Elaine had been arguing with her boyfriend Billy Millwood and she was at Zach’s so that she could make a thirty five cent phone call to Billy without relying on her family’s long distance plan, because back then long distance cost money.  Nine days later, she was found dead.  Twenty five years later, Elaine Nix’s case is still unsolved.  We’ve had some major breakthroughs since last week. We were able to help Elaine’s parents get access to her autopsy report - so we are going to see what we can learn from that report - plus  we have letters from potential witnesses - and a confession letter supposedly written by a local businessman that has never been revealed - until now.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
