Peggy Ann Elgo was a woman who disappeared at an unknown date in 1983. Her remains were discovered later that year, but they remained unidentified for nearly 37 years.
Elgo disappeared under unknown circumstances. Her remains were discovered on June 7, 1983 near State Route 89. The cause of her death was not disclosed, but her head was not recovered.
The body was also decomposed and mistakenly determined to belong to a black woman; she was actually of Native American descent. The victim was estimated to be between 20 and 25, at a height of 5’2. Only a partial amount of hair was recovered.
At the time of her discovery, she was dressed in athletic-style clothing, including brown suede shoes and white socks with red and yellow stripes at the top. No other articles of clothing were apparently recovered.
Elgo was previously speculated to be Phoenix Jane Doe, until DNA ruled out the match. Afterward, a match in the CODIS database confirmed she was the decedent found near State Route 89. Elgo is survived by her living son today.

Howard Wesley “Kip” Evans (March 25, 1955 – c. 1984) was a man found beaten to death in Florida in 1986.
Kip was last seen in Volusia County in June 1984. Not much information is known about his disappearance.
Kip’s family attempted to report him missing to the police but no missing persons report was ever filed. Kip was declared legally dead six years later.
On the afternoon of January 14, 1986, Kip’s remains were found by a man cutting palmetto trees in Bulow Creek State Park, in Volusia County, Florida. The remains were located in a dense woodland area off of Pumphouse Road, which was near Ormond Beach. The area in which he was found in was a known biker campground.
The remains were likely dumped or left at the location, and had been there for an undetermined amount of time, however, it was believed he had died between 1985-1986.
An examination of the remains revealed that the man had suffered blunt force trauma in a violent attack, and his death was ruled a homicide.
Numerous leads and tips were followed over the years, however, they all came to dead ends
DNA testing was performed on the remains in 2006 and 2011, and two reconstructions were made, but there were no matches to missing person reports.
In 2019, a Facebook post surfaced from Kip’s mother, regarding his disappearance, and there was striking similarities between the two. DNA testing proved that Kip was Volusia County John Doe.
Kip’s family are unaware of any connection he may have had to the Ku Klux Klan, which his personal items indicated he may have been a part of.
His murder remains unsolved and police are still looking for the individuals responsible.

Maurice Freeman Long (born March 13, 1964) was a male found deceased in Georgia intersection on March 11, 1985. The location he was discovered was near Interstate 75
A man’s body was discovered on a dirt road by a school bus driver on March 11, 1985. He had been shot to death in a homicide, but his cause of death was never released until he was identified.
On May 21, 2020, he was confirmed to have been identified. The identification was made by comparing fingerprints to a 21 year old man named Maurice Long, who was arrested in Atlanta, Georgia, for criminal trespassing in January 1985.
Tragically, he was found dead 2 days after his 21st birthday. It’s believed that someone shot Long in a car, and drove along the Interstate to find a place to dump his body. Despite his identification, it doesn’t seem that anyone has attempted to look for Long after he vanished.
Investigators think his parents are dead, but that some of his relatives are still alive. They also suspect that one of his parents may have been in the military.

Zakia Mansour was a Tunisian woman found stabbed in December 1994 in Germany. She was found to have drowned in her own blood.
Zakia was found lying in a water hole, on an agricultural road in Gifhorn, Germany. She had been stabbed to death and had drowned in her own blood.
With the help of Hanover Medical School, German authorities conducted an ancestry DNA test on the body and they were positively identified as 28 year old Zakia Mansour, missing from the North African country, Tunisia.
Zakia hadn’t been reported missing until 2019. Zakia’s daughter in law filed the report, and when notified of similarities between the two, Gifhorn police became certain that the victim was Zakia. However, identification was delayed until DNA from Zakia’s relative’s could be obtained.
Little is known about Zakia and her disappearance, other than she took a plane to Hanover, Germany on December 13, 1994. She had met up with a currently unidentified female, who is believed to have information that would help solve Zakia’s murder. The woman may have been from the Wolfsburg area. Zakia had been staying in Salzgitter-Lebenstedt, and knew multiple people in that and the Wolfsburg area. Zakia had been seen at a resturant in the Braunschweig area, and is believed to have died on December 23 or 24.
Police are asking Zakia’s friends in the area she was seen in to come forward.
