In September, 1992, the remains of a woman were found in North Houston, TX. Although it was clear she was a murder victim, investigators had no clues to establish her identity. For years this Jane Doe went unidentified until modern technology and FGG were able to provide police with her name. She was Joann Zamora, a mother of six who vanished earlier that year. Now police know who she is, but they now want to find out who murdered her. Unfortunately, that may be one part of this mystery that remains unsolved. 

In 1988, Teenager Tracy Whitney was trying to figure out her complicated life.  She was living with one boyfriend, and seeing another guy on the side – there was drama. When she vanished after walking out of a Federal Way, WA Burger King in August, no one had any idea where she could have gone.  She was found miles away in the Puyallup River the next day – and remained a Jane Doe for two months. Once she was identified as the missing teen, police were months behind on their homicide investigation.  But even if the investigation had been timely, it’s unlikely that her killer would have been identified – for he had no known connection to Tracy whatsoever.

A murdered Jane Doe was found at a truck turnout in Santa Clara county, CA in 1993. Remaining unidentified, she became known as Blue Pacheco, after her clothing and dump site location.  She remained unidentified for decades, long after a famous serial killer was prosecuted for her murder.  Even though justice was served, investigators were determined to give Blue Pacheco her name back – and finally, IGG allowed them to provide answers to her family. Her name is Patsy Skiple, a victim of the Happy Face Killer, Keith Hunter Jesperson.
