In August 1992, the quiet coastal town of Havelock, North Carolina, was shaken by the discovery of 25-year-old Camille Whalen’s body near a baseball field. Camille, a hitchhiker known for her free spirit, had been strangled and stabbed — her life taken in a brutal and senseless act that remains unsolved to this day.

For more than three decades, whispers have lingered about who was responsible. Now, detectives have reexamined the case, exploring whether former Marine Darren Vann — once stationed at nearby Cherry Point Air Station — could be connected to Camille’s murder.

This episode of BucklesBerry Lemonade revisits the haunting details of Camille’s final hours, the long shadow of suspicion, and the unanswered questions that still echo through Craven County.
