15 year old Melissa Lee was home alone in 1993 when someone kicked in the door and drugged her, abducted her, and killed her.  The prime suspect, her boyfriend, had threatened to kill her that very day, and police believed he made good on that threat. But they could not build a solid case, and Melissa’s murder remained unsolved.  Three decades later, IGG pointed the cold case investigators right back to the case file, and someone in Melissa’s life – someone other than her boyfriend.  Luckily, Alan Dean was apprehended alive, and justice for Melissa was served at long last.

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.
