The identity of a long-lost Jane Doe has finally been disclosed, nearly four decades after her remains were discovered.
Investigators in Tennessee are now asking the public for help in solving her case.
The skeleton remains of Michelle Lavone Inman, 24, were discovered in March 1985, according to the Tennessean.
A driver discovered the body of the Nashville, Tennessee, resident alongside a creek in Cheatham County, some 25 miles from her home, when their car broke down.
Inman died two to five months before her body was discovered.
She was discovered wearing a white collared shirt with little red flowers and a ball hat with tropical themes, according to DNA Solves.
Her death was ruled a homicide, but the cause has yet to be revealed, according to KDFW.
For decades, the woman’s identity remained a mystery.
All of that changed in April 2018, when the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation sent her DNA to Othram Inc., a private lab in Texas, according to WSMV.
Scientists were able to locate Inman’s family members in Virginia.
An investigator learned from the victim’s brother that he hadn’t heard from her in more over 40 years.
Anyone with information on Inman or who she may have been with before her death is asked to contact the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-TBI-FIND or submit an email to TBI.ColdCase@tbi.tn.gov.
Maya Millete’s missing persons case has also received new attention more than two years after her abduction.
The mother, who was last seen at her home in Chula Vista, California, some 10 miles south of San Diego, vanished the same week she hired a divorce lawyer.
Larry Millette, Maya’s husband, was caught in October 2021, almost eight months after she went missing.
Larry reportedly contacted a spellcaster in an effort to save their marriage shortly before Maya disappeared.
“Can you hex to have her hurt enough that she will have to depend on me or need my help?” he allegedly said in an email to the spellcaster.
