Here's an absolutely wild story out of the state of Alabama.
In 1997, a headless body was discovered in the woods of Marshall County, Alabama along the Little Cotaco Creek near Union Springs. The headless man appeared to have been decapitated with a saw, as well as having his hands and feet removed as well, making him impossible to identify at the time.
In addition, the man's heart and spleen were also removed with "surgical precision" according to authorities.
But now, 26 years later, the man has been identified as Jefferey Douglas Kimzy of Santa Barbara, California.
Now the question remains: How and why was a California man dismembered and dumped in the woods of Alabama?
Here are some details the Marshall County Sheriff's office posted on Facebook:
After 26 years, the deceased individual has now been identified as Jefferey Douglas Kimzy, 20, of Santa Barbara, California.Then along came improvements in DNA and Genealogical research. In November of 2019; Sheriff Sims and then Chief Investigator Keith Wilson made contact with Parabon NanoLabs, a DNA Technology company. Through a process called DNA Phenotyping, Parabon could give us some possible physical characteristics for what our subject may have looked like.
The sheriff's office has also announced that, now that they have identification, they also have persons of interest.
They are also working to identify other DNA left behind at the scene to try to connect the case with possible suspects.
This is one cold case that just got smoking hot again.
someone who decapitates, removes hands and feet, and removes organs “with surgical precision” does not, and has not, just killed once - they are likely a serial killer who won’t stop until caught.
Thanks Red Badger.

Why go to that kind of trouble to prevent identification? Wouldn’t it be far easier to just bury the body in a deep grave or weight it down and dump it in a body of water where it would never be found?
Reminds me of the old headline “Headless Body Found in Topless Bar”.
My guess is a Satanist.
Yeah, that murder was not a one-off for the perp(s).
Almost 100 years later Jack the Ripper lives.
“All serial murders are not sexually-based. There are many other motivations for serial murders including anger, thrill, financial gain, and attention seeking.”
Most likely.....................
Sounds like a SATANIC RITUAL..................
Or someone wanted his organs.
DNA is a modern-day karmic bitch
“Why go to that kind of trouble to prevent identification?”
Well, my first thought is that the killer probably was not a stranger to the victim. There is a connection there, otherwise there’s no reason to be so paranoid about leaving the body in an identifiable state.
People from California should keep on going there. Its good for the rest of us.
That is true, but for a lot of serial killers, there is a sexual thrill, even if they do not do anything overtly sexual to their victims. They tend to be sadists, so they can get sexual satisfaction just from exercising that kind of power over an unwilling victim.
Well over 100 years later.
Masochist: “Hurt me!”
Sadist: “No!”
