A name carries history, identity, and belonging—but what happens when it's lost to time? In 1984, the quiet town of Bowling Green, Kentucky, was rocked by a gruesome discovery along Interstate 65-- the discovery of a body. With no immediate clues to her identity, the woman became known only as "Bowling Green Jane Doe," her past a mystery and her voice silenced. Who was she? How did she end up there? And, more importantly, would she ever be given her name back? In this episode of Coffee and Cases, we unravel the story of a young woman whose identity was restored—but whose fate still raises more questions than answers.
