Summary

Part 1 of 2. In early October 1983, a motorcyclist discovered the partially clothed body of a woman in a culvert off US Highway 287, about 17 miles north of Amarillo, Texas. The local Special Crimes Unit immediately began their investigation, fully aware that time was of the essence. Between the body and her clothing, the victim had many identifying features but still, authorities fell short. They felt it meant their Jane Doe wasn’t from the Amarillo area. Though decades later they’d discover that assertion was correct, investigators never stopped searching missing persons cases from around the country. But two and a half decades later, they still couldn’t match the unidentified victim with any.

If you have any information about the murder of Bambi Lynn Dick, please call the Amarillo / Potter / Randall Special Crimes Unit at 806-378-4268.

If you’d like more information about Dr. Ralph Erdmann and why some of his determinations in this case should not necessarily be taken as gospel check out our episodes titled: Debra Mackey Part 1: Plainview Jane Doe & Part 2: The Criminal Pathologist from September 2023.
