I can tell you that the Gadsden area is in the foothills of the Smokies and it is where Al is becoming mountanous(sp). Beautiful but can be rugged too. It's a rural area. The interstate runs right through Gadsden(59?) up into TN and down to Birmingham. There are signs along the interstate exits for towns like Rainbow City, but they can't be seen from the interstate. Next town north of Gadsden that it runs through is Ft Payne.

Peggy Reaves Mock – The Charley Project I found this part interesting
After Mock's disappearance, police got a letter a woman had written to a third party about her. The woman wrote that she had "been sick since Peggy Mock came up missing" and that Mock "went to Texas in the trunk of a car."

This woman who wrote the letter was murdered in November 1994, and two men were convicted of the crime. Authorities don't believe her homicide was connected to Mock's disappearance and they aren't sure of the significance of her letter.

Keeping the above information in mind when reviewing Jane Doe’s found in the 90’s in Texas just in case.

I came across Peggy’s missing information while looking into this female UID found burned Miami Beach in March 1993.

UID had long blonde hair, 33-45 years old. Estimated 5’4” and 123 lbs. She was wearing 2 silver rings, no description mentioned.

I am wondering whether the correct name is Mock or Mack as her mothers obituary at https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/gadsdentimes/name/naomi-reaves-obituary?id=24139703 and repeated in the local paper says Mack. It may just be a typo but useful to be sure.

What a pity for her, a young woman murdered by some sick person who wanted to force her to do something else... I didn't find information if she had a husband and children but it's probably not... the clue that the Charley Project says about her wearing underwear Her bag indicates that it was possibly a one-night stand or straight-up affair and, with all due respect, she practiced prostitution only with people she knew who were not 100 percent dedicated to that...
I hope that one day her case can be resolved...
either way
rest in peace

Details of Disappearance​

Mock was last seen at a nightclub in Gadsden, Alabama at approximately midnight on December 25, 1992. She went to the Chestnut Station, a local lounge, with friends, then went to the Warehouse Lounge. She left with a man and he brought her back and let her off there. She has never been heard from again.

In March 1993, her boots and her purse were found at the site of the burned-out Mountaintop Club in Rainbow City, Alabama. The purse contained her identification, some prescription medicine bottles in her name, and some undergarments. The purse was near the former club's pool, which was stagnant and full of debris. Authorities drained it, but found no other clues.

In May 1993, Mock's dark blue 1983 Toyota Celica and some personal items were found backed into a space in the parking lot of Forest River Apartments on George Wallace Drive near Gadsden. Authorities stated the car may have been parked at that location for several months, possibly since Mock's disappearance. A photo of it is posted with this case summary. The vehicle had been wiped clean of fingerprints.

After Mock's disappearance, police got a letter a woman had written to a third party about her. The woman wrote that she had "been sick since Peggy Mock came up missing" and that Mock "went to Texas in the trunk of a car."

This woman who wrote the letter was murdered in November 1994, and two men were convicted of the crime. Authorities don't believe her homicide was connected to Mock's disappearance and they aren't sure of the significance of her letter.

Mock resided in Boaz, Alabama in 1992, and that city's police are investigating her case. She may have traveled to the Jacksonville, Florida area after her disappearance. Her case remains unsolved and is being treated as a possible homicide.
