8. The Sumter County Does

For 45 years, two murder victims in rural South Carolina were left unidentified. Police and the public were only able to refer to them as Jock and Jane Doe, making it nearly impossible to solve their crime. In 2021, thanks to advancements in DNA testing, the duo were finally given their names back. However, the 1976 murders of Pamela Buckley and James Freund are still unsolved today. No one even knows how the duo knew each other and ended up hundreds of miles away from their respective hometowns.
