On Wednesday October 4th, 1978 a young man was laying wire for a telephone company in Lyon County, Iowa when he thought he saw a mannequin lying in amongst the weeds along Highway 182. As he approached he quickly realized that it was actually human remains. Those human remains belonged to a woman who would remain only known as Jane Doe for 26 1/2 years until a fingerprint finally told investigators that those remains had belonged to Wilma June Nissen, a woman who had previously been arrested for being a street-worker in California.
Now, 47 years after her murder what happened and who was behind the murder are still a mystery but Wilma's biological daughter Krissi Atkisson is still looking for and hoping for answers so that she can allow her mom to rest in peace and hopefully see some kind of justice come to those who are guilty of her murder.
