After the Verdict: The Woman with No Name

SUBSCRIBER EXCLUSIVE: In 2006, the burned body of an unidentified young woman was found in a Texas field. She became known only as “Lavender Doe,” due to the color of her shirt. For more than a decade, her identity remained a mystery until volunteers with the DNA Doe Project -- an organization co-founded by Margaret Press -- stepped in. In 2019, their work helped give Lavender Doe her name back: Dana Lynn Dodd. She was just 21 years old when she was murdered. Her killer was convicted in 2021. But across the country, thousands of other Jane and John Does remain unidentified. In this episode, Keith Morrison sits down with Margaret Press to talk about the early days of investigative genealogy, the controversies it has sparked, and how her team continues to fight for the nameless.

Why pay?

Why am I paying for a subscription when the full series isn’t made available to me. I love this podcast but unfortunately I’m dropping my subscription because I’ve no idea what I’m paying for. I can’t binge new series, have already heard old series on the free edition and there are rarely new shows. Plenty of reruns but rarely new material. Sorry guys. You used to be one of my favorites until I paid to subscribe. Rates aren’t cheap and I get nothing in return. Goodbye.
