There was a time when the area of Sherwood had a reputation for disappearances. I knew two people from "the mountain (Sewanee)" that went missing in the seventies.
Edit - Actually only one. The other was somewhat brutalized, but, made it out.
I read in an interview, Hacksaw cut the body off the car with the intention of using it as a (boat?) trailer. When he returned to the scene it was gone.
