Debra Louise Jackson, informally known as "Orange Socks" when unidentified, was a Texas murder victim who went unidentified for nearly 40 years before being identified via a DNA match with her surviving sister in 2019.
Her murder is believed to have taken place on October 31, 1979, in Georgetown, Texas.
Her body was found naked, except for the pair of orange socks from which the nickname was derived.
She had been strangled, and was believed to have died only hours before the discovery.
Henry Lee Lucas confessed to and was convicted of her murder.
Though doubts have been raised about his complicity in this crime, Lucas's conviction was not overturned.
His death sentence was commuted by Texas governor George W.
Bush in 1998.
He died in prison of heart failure.
There is strong evidence that Lucas was in Florida when Jackson was murdered.
