    The Wetzel County Jane Doe (1983)

    In February 1983, the Ohio Valley was struck by a terrible snowstorm which eclipsed any such storm in a forty (40) year history. Roads were impassible and power outages impaled the region. However, on February 13, 1983, just as the storm came to a bitter end, an elderly couple witnessed what they believed to be a mannequin that had been disposed of over a hillside off Route 250 near Littleton, WV. The “mannequin” was actually a human body, which had been discarded over the embankment in the pre dawn hours of the day. It was estimated that the body had been deceased around 48 hours prior to the discovery, but had been placed only hours before. Throughout the years, the case has been shrouded in mystery bringing forth a multitude of theories, but yielding no answers to our Jane Doe’s true fate. Join the Cold Case Crew and they delve into the mysterious murder of the Wetzel County Jane Doe. A cold case local to Wetzel County, West Virginia. #WetzelCounty #ColdCasesOfWetzelCounty #UnsolvedWV #ColdCase #JaneDoe #WetzelCountyJane Doe #Littleton #WesVirginia #Unsolved #Homicide #UnsolvedHomicide #UnsolvedMurder #HareKrishna #RedheadMurders #ColdCaseCrew #1983 _________________________________________________________________________ References: Youtube: Mysterious WV: The Wetzel County Jane Doe Websites: https://unidentified-awareness.fandom.com/wiki/Wetzel_County_Jane_Doe https://www.doenetwork.org/cases/56ufwv.html https://www.shinealightwv.org/post/wetzel-county-jane-doe-aka-judy-beaty-doe https://www.websleuths.com/forums/threads/wv-littleton-whtfem-30-45-56ufwv-upper-denture-c-section-scar-orange-toe-polish-feb83.108148/ __________________________________________________________________________ Special Thank You’s: Thank you to our families Compute One Hale Family Dentistry Brand RPM Kevin Beatty Candor Creative Company Thank you to all our subscribers!

    The Disappearance of Rebecca Coriam (Cruise Ship Disappearances Pt. 2)

    (WO)MAN OVERBOARD— On March 22, 2011, twenty four (24) year old Rebecca Coriam of Chester, England, failed to report to her job as a “Youth Worker” aboard the Disney Cruise Line, The Wonder.

The official narrative states that Rebecca was washed overboard by a rogue wave while on Deck 5 in the early morning hours of March 22nd, but the facts of the case make this theory flawed.
