Nobody reported Valerie Mack missing. She was 24, a mother, adopted into a family that chose her — and when she disappeared from Port Republic, New Jersey, in 2000, not a single person filed a report. Her dismembered remains were found in Manorville by a hunter's dog. She sat unidentified for two decades. Jane Doe Number Six. A case file with no name.

Episode 2 of "The Seven." Valerie's story goes from Atlantic City to foster care to Philadelphia to the woods of Long Island. The evidence prosecutors say connects Heuermann to her death includes DNA from his own household found on her remains, newspaper clippings about her case allegedly kept as souvenirs in his home, and a planning document with a "body prep" note matching the condition of her body.

Her son Benjamin grew up without her. His DNA ultimately confirmed her identity in 2020. His attorney has said publicly that if the full facts don't come out, they intend to pursue this further. Valerie's life, the twenty years of silence, the genetic genealogy breakthrough, and every piece of evidence prosecutors have laid out — all covered here.
