The victims may have had their vehicle hijacked, possibly by hitchhikers. It was said they had been dropped off on Locklair Road, a secluded dirt road between I-95 and S.C. In the early morning hours of August 9, 1976, the young man and woman were said to have been seen from a distance by a hermit.

It was clarified the following day that the female was actually from the state of Minnesota. A news report published later in the day elaborated that the male victim was from Pennsylvania and the female was from Wisconsin. A statement by the DNA Doe Project described the resolution of the case, and that they were withholding additional information, including the decedents' names. It was announced on January 19, 2021, that both victims had been identified.

The male victim had furthermore stated that his father was a well-known doctor this supported the theory that his family was wealthy. A man who claimed he had met the victims stated that he was told by the male victim that his name was 'Jock' and that he had left his Canadian family with his girlfriend. The male victim had been referred to as ' Jock Doe', which may have originated from the French name 'Jacques,' an indication he may have been from French Canada. The victims were unidentified for forty-five years, despite the fact that their descriptions, sketches of their faces, dental information, and fingerprints had been distributed across the United States. Sumter County Coroner Verna Moore continued to work on the case until her retirement in 2009. The male victim had been shot three times in the upper chest and the female victim was shot in the upper chest and through the neck. This was inferred from some of their belongings. They had apparently traveled through various places in the United States before being murdered in South Carolina. James Paul Freund (Septem– August 9, 1976) and Pamela Mae Buckley (Decem– August 9, 1976), commonly known as the Sumter County Does, Jock Doe and Jane Doe respectively, were two previously unidentified American murder victims found in Sumter County, South Carolina on August 9, 1976.
