Police had no motive, no suspects and no breaks in the case until 1984, when none other than Henry Lee Lucas admitted to the crime. Lucas was at that point establishing his reputation as the greatest serial killer in American history.
This got the attention of Williamson County Sheriff Jim Boutwell, who brought Lucas to Georgetown. There, Lucas confessed to killing a woman known to police only as Orange Socks after the few shreds of clothing she wore when her body had been found in 1979 along I-35.
Naturally, police from around the nation wanted to speak with Lucas, in hopes of clearing unsolved murders. Sheriff Boutwell , who had been a Texas Ranger in the 1950s, sought help from Col. Jim Adams, the director of the Texas Department of Public Safety.
In the custody of the Texas Rangers, he confessed to slaughtering hundreds of men and women in random and brutal fashion across the United States. As we now know, it was a grand hoax — one perpetrated with the unwitting, if eager, assistance of dozens of police agencies.
To his credit, Henscey could not have known at the time in 1986 that the Rangers were sitting on evidence proving without a doubt that Lucas did not kill Underwood. The files in the state archives include records from a company called Commercial Metals in Jacksonville, Fla.
