Tennessee 1985 Interstate Cold Case SOLVED - DNA Found the Man Who Killed Her

On New Year's Day 1985, a bound and strangled young woman was found beside Interstate 75 in Campbell County, Tennessee. She had no ID, no missing person match, and no name — just fingerprints, a blanket, and a case file that sat cold for over three decades. Decades later, DNA testing connected the crime scene evidence to a convicted violent offender. But by the time investigators had his name, he was already dead. An old fingerprint card, a missing-person blog, and a TBI intelligence analyst's search finally gave the victim her name back too: Tina Marie McKenney Farmer. This is the story of how two separate cold cases — an unidentified body and an unsolved DNA profile — came together after 33 years, and why solving it left investigators facing an even bigger question about the so-called "Redhead Murders." 🔔 Subscribe to Radius of Crime for more cold cases where preserved evidence finally brings families long-awaited answers. #ColdCase #TrueCrime #Tennessee
