Summary

Episode 187 Doe ID: Joann Zamora

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.
