Theresa Caroline Fillingim
The Weeki Wachee, Jane Doe was finally identified recently as Theresa Caroline Fillingim.
Serial killer Billy Mansfield Jr killed at least 6 women, burying five of them on his property. Along with his brother and father, they abused the women and when done, Billy would take their lives. Two of the women remained unidentified, and we now know Theresa Caroline Fillingim was one.
Theresa was only 16, she would have been 17 in a week if she’d lived to see her birthday, that year in 1980. She had left the house for a job interview and then never returned.
Mansfield is still in prison but he’s come up for parole multiple times and will again in a few years.
The Hernando Jane Doe, 1981 is the one remaining unnamed known victim of Mansfield.
