People serve time for breaking into a pay phone?! This man's life was surely a tragic story. I'm glad he has his name back.

This is back when payphones ran on physical coins. They were emptied on a schedule, so if you busted one open just before collection, you could get a decent haul of silver.

MOO

Calls were $0.25. Let the scoundrel pay to repair the phone and give him 48 hrs community service. But prison is crazy for such a petty crime. A criminal sentence is life altering, at least for most people.

Identified as Rebecca Sue Hill, who has been missing from Arkansas since 1981, which would make her 16 or 17 years old at the time of her disappearance.

In 1981 or 1982, the remains of an unidentified individual were found in Little Rock, Arkansas. At that time, Rebecca’s family misidentified those remains as belonging to Rebecca, and therefore Rebecca was not listed in any missing persons database.

Does this mean there’s a set of remains in Arkansas that’s unaccounted for, so to speak? Back to being a Jane Doe?

It is weird that the family misidentified the remains. What made them say it was her?

If it was visual identification after a while, they may have just seen things that reminded them of her enough. And if they didn't have dentals or fingerprints, and it was before DNA, then that was what they had to work with.

I would hope that there's still a way to identify the other person, that she was buried rather than cremated.

Well, now I'm quite curious on who the remains misidentified as belonging to Rebecca really were. Did they even belong to a teenage girl? I feel like this ID has opened a whole other can of worms aside from Rebecca's murder.

Rest in peace, Rebecca.
