Episode 62: Morgan County Jane Doe
Description
One late afternoon in 1950, a mushroom hunter finds the body of a woman off a little used road in West Virginia. It is clear she was murdered and dumped in this remote location. Despite there being few clues to her identity, investigators get to work trying to identify her and her killer. Within the first year of discovering her body, investigators claimed to have identified her seven different times. None were correct. Now, almost 75 years later, the woman’s name and her killer are still unknown.
