Sabrina Underwood, 19, disappeared after being dropped off in Boone County, Arkansas by her mother. Underwood planned to hitchhike to visit her boyfriend, a prison inmate, but when her boyfriend called to ask why she did not make her scheduled visit, a missing person's report was filed. Three months later, hunters found a bundle of clothes and human remains, which were later determined to be Underwood's.
Underwood's murder remained unsolved until an inmate told Arkansas State Police investigators that Rick Allen Headley confessed to the killing in a letter written while serving a life sentence. Headley had pleaded guilty to capital murder after stabbing his estranged wife to death. He was serving his sentence in a maximum-security unit, according to police.
