Sketches of the girl known as "Orange Socks"
WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Texas 6 Aug 2019 — Williamson County officials have finally identified the woman who was found dead about 40 years ago wearing only orange socks.
Sheriff Robert Chody made the announcement on Tuesday, revealing more details in a press conference on Wednesday.
The victim has been identified as Debra Louise Jackson of Abilene, Texas, who died at the age of 23 from apparent strangulation. She was found dead on Oct. 31, 1979, off of Interstate Highway 35 north of Georgetown in a concrete drainage ditch near Walburg Road...
... At the press conference Wednesday, Sheriff Chody said the major breakthrough in the case came when a family member contacted officials after seeing an
updated sketch of the victim. She was later confirmed through DNA testing to be the victim's sister.
After meeting with Jackson's family, officials learned that she left home in Abilene in 1977. Her family did not report her missing at this time, so her information was not entered in any databases. Also, officials said her Social Security activity halted after 1979.
Officials said she could also be known by the names of Debra Louise Larned or Debra Louise Moon.
Based on information officials have gathered, they learned that Jackson eventually began working at a Ramada Inn in Amarillo in 1978 located at 2508 E. Interstate Highway 40 and, later that year, at an assisted living center called Bur-Mont Inc. in Azle, Texas, located at 7150 Gantt Access Road. Officials believe she also worked at R.E. West and C.G. Cole Admiral PTR, Realty Investment LTD, in 1979 at an unknown location...
