Thanks for listening to this special breaking update episode of Last Seen Alive.

I'm your host, Leah,

crime analyst by day and true crime storyteller by night. I'm your co-host, Scott.

A month ago, we told you an especially heartbreaking story about a little girl whose short life was one of profound neglect and abuse, and ultimately ended in homicide. It was, as episodes

involving child victims often are, I imagine, hard to listen to for many of you. I know I find

the story difficult to dwell on, especially since I have a young daughter of my own. This update is, of course,

on the case of Opelika's baby Jane Doe.

Or at least, that was all we knew her by when we wrote the episode on her unsolved homicide.

But I'm very happy to say that today, that changed.

Thanks to the hard work of investigators and forensic scientists and genealogists, she's been given her name back.

So from now on, we'll be calling her by

her real name, which is Amor Jovea Wiggins. I know I was especially sad listening to it and

editing it. It's one of those cases that has sat in the back of my mind. So to finally have a name

to go along with it is really a tremendous relief.

Yeah, it's one of those cases that really illustrates the deaths of human evil.

As you may recall, Amor's mostly skeletonized remains were discovered on the grounds of a mobile home

park in Opelika, Alabama on January 28, 2012.

The discovery was sparked when a woman who lived in one of those mobile homes looked out her window

and saw a dog carrying around what turned out to be real human remains.

She called 911, of course, and police responded to the scene,

where they found the partial, mostly skeletonized remains of a little girl by the brushy bank of a small creek.

Later analysis would reveal that at the time of her death, she was somewhere between four and seven years old.
