"Jane Doe" Identified as Missing Michigan Teenager Tammy Lowe
38 years ago, a driver pulled off the interstate to investigate a fire he saw burning. He pulled up to an auto shop. The fire was behind the building and upon closer inspection he noticed it was a human body.
The coroner at the time said her teeth were so bad he couldn't get dental records to identify her. All they had to go on was her jeans, which were Jordache, and the pearl earrings she was wearing, five in each ear.
Because there was so little to go on, "Jane Doe" remained unidentified. They believed her death was homicide, but how she was killed was undetermined, and because they found cocaine in her system, that was what they put down as cause of death.
Over time, the police didn't give up trying to figure out who she was. Law enforcement continued to look at the missing persons reports of young women and even went so far as to create her face using clay reconstruction, to no avail. KBTX
In October, 2024 the Porchlight Project a local non-profit that helps Ohio with cold cases, offered to take on the case by offering to fund genetic genealogy DNA testing through Othram, a Texas-based company that specializes in forensic genetic genealogy. Tammy Lowe
