For all that is secret will eventually be brought into the open, and everything that is concealed will be brought to light and made known to all. |
A local was out walking their dog that Monday just north of Skull Valley when they stumbled upon the washed-away grave of a woman, only her bones and clothing remained. Somewhere there is a family that has spent the last 11-16 years wondering where their loved one has been all this time. After a week of attempting to identify this Jane, investigators called in a forensic anthropologist in hopes of learning more about her. Even with that new information, sadly, 10 years have gone by with no solid leads. All that we have to go by is a very general age estimate, a sketch, and limited other details. |
This week the spotlight is on a Young Jane in Los Angeles, California from 1989
In the early morning hours of May 25, 1989, an alley in Los Angeles would become a temporary resting place for a young teenage girl. Some time between 3:00 - 6:00 am, her body was discarded near W 8th St, where it lay waiting to be found by anyone who would pass by. She lay there clothed, various jewelry left untouched, facing the sky as the sunrise greeted the City of Angels. Where did she come from? How did she die? Who abandoned her in the alley? Who was she? So many questions quickly swirled around the investigation into her life and death. 30 years later, many of those questions remain unanswered. |
This week, the spotlight is on a newborn in
Winona County, Minnesota from 2011
A family of four was enjoying their long Labor Day weekend, boating along the Mississippi River and camping on Prairie Island that September in 2011. The 5th, Monday, began like that of many others enjoying family time outdoors. They cruised along that afternoon, down near Trempealeau, MN, then headed back upriver toward Prairie Island.
The couple and their two sons were making their way toward their campsite around mid-afternoon that day when they spotted something in the water up ahead. As they slowly motored toward it, they saw that it was a canvas tote bag, mostly submerged in the warm water of the Mississippi. The couple directed their sons to fish it out of the water and check inside for a wallet or some kind of identifying information, thinking that someone had accidentally lost their shopping bag on the river. In an instant, their holiday weekend would become unforgettable.

This week, the spotlight is on a young teen in
White Hills, Arizona from 2016
An Arizona couple took advantage of the pleasant weather that Wednesday evening, September 28, and went for a hike in an area near White Hills, along Highway 93 between Kingman and the Hoover Dam. The area offers a variety of hiking trails that appeal to hikers of every skill level. The Cherum Peak Trail, Mount Tipton Wilderness Trails, Camp Beale Loop, and Monolith Garden Trail attract people of all kinds. Unfortunately, this Jane would not get to enjoy the picturesque views or beautiful weather. Instead, her young life would end and the wilderness would be her temporary resting place. |

True crime, cold case, long-term missing/unidentified, and all things mystery. I've always been interested, but now I'm involved in the search.
