In 1968, the decomposing body of a young woman was found on the side of the road in Kentucky. With the lack of DNA testing, and no indication of her identity found at the crime scene, she remained a Jane Doe for over three decades. But in the 90s, a young man became obsessed with bringing her home to her family, and he eventually did just that. This is the story of Barbara Ann Hackmann, also known as Tent Girl.
