This individual was recently confirmed to have been identified. Some details may change as more information is released publicly.
Alisha Ann Heinrich (May 24, 1981 - December 3 or 4, 1982), formerly known as "Delta Dawn" was a young girl located deceased in the Escatawpa River in Moss Point, Mississippi in 1982. She was last seen with her currently missing mother, and her mother's male friend, now a suspect in her death. Her identification was announced on December 4, 2020, nearly 38 years after her murder.
Case
It is believed that Heinrich was seen alive one night with a woman who was carrying a child while pacing over a bridge. The woman, presumably Heinrich's mother or abductor, was causing a disturbance and refused help from those who offered.
Her body was found after a man had called police to report a woman's body in the river, but the child's body was found instead. The adult has never been located. The caller said adult victim was wearing a blue plaid shirt, possibly flannel.
Heinrich had been alive when she entered the water, as she inhaled water before dying. An apparent attempt to smother her had taken place beforehand. It is unknown why the victim had been disposed of in the river, possibly by the woman carrying her or the unnamed man that accompanied Clemons.
Another victim, the Jackson County John Doe was found after an additional search. He was not likely related to this case, as he had been shot and was deceased for a significant amount of time before.
