Summary
On September 20, 1999, in Gainesville, Georgia, 18-year-old Elaine Nix pulled into Zack’s Food Rack, a gas station and convenience store, just after 11 pm.
Zack’s was located just off highway sixty south, also known as Candler Highway and had two booths on the side of the building, where Elaine parked her 1986 blue Toyota Celica. Elaine was there to place a late night phone call to her boyfriend, Billy Millwood.
Elaine’s mom Becky remembers that Elaine left home to go to the gas station to call Billy at around 11 pm. Becky said that her daughter had been fighting. He would later tell the police that he believed that she was lying about using birth control.
But, Elaine didn’t come home. At first her mom wasn’t overly worried because she assumed that she and Billy had made up and that Elaine had stayed at his house.
But she never came home. And Becky never heard from her daughter again.
Twenty five years later, her case is still unsolved.
