This murder has never been solved.
At the time of the murder, Miss Noble was 20 years old and was a student at Marshall University. Mr. Scott was 21.
The night of the murders, Jeff picked Karen up from her house at about 9:00 p.m. for a date. Less than three hours later, their bodies were discovered by a passerby. The inside of Jeff's Datsun truck had been soaked with gasoline and set on fire.
Jeff's body was pulled from the back of the truck. Karen's body was discovered 30 yards away, face down at the edge of the creek. Authorities believe the truck fire had been started only moments before the bodies were discovered.
At the time, authorities were quoted as saying they believed the couple was shot somewhere between Bluefield, W.V. and the Route 61 location and then brought to the isolated area where their bodies were later discovered.
Although officials stated they had "four or five good angles", nobody was ever charged in connection with the slayings.
