On the morning of August 9th, 1975, the bodies of a male and female were found twenty-five-miles east of Sumter, South Carolina. This would start a forty-four-year-long mystery into the identification of the two and what happened to them.
If you have any information about the unsolved murder of Pamela Buckley and James Paul Freund, you are asked to contact the Sumter County Sheriff's office at (803) 436-2000.
