Conway County Jane Doe

For more than three decades, she had no name.

On October 24, 1994, the body of a woman was discovered along railroad tracks near U.S. Highway 64 between Morrilton and Plumerville, Arkansas. She had been murdered, but investigators didn’t know who she was. No identity. No clear answers. Just a life reduced to a case file and a label: Jane Doe.

For 30 years, she remained that way.

In this episode of Lost Girls, LaDonna and Amy walk through the long road to finally restoring her name—Jamie Ann Moore of Conway, Arkansas. At just 32 years old, her life ended violently, and for decades, her story sat in silence while technology and time slowly caught up to the truth.

This case is a powerful example of what happens when persistence meets innovation. Through investigative genetic genealogy—a combination of DNA science and family history research—investigators were able to do what once seemed impossible. With the help of Parabon NanoLabs, Othram Labs, and dedicated genealogists, a path was built back to Jamie. A daughter’s DNA would ultimately confirm what so many years had left unanswered.

But identification is only the beginning.

Who was Jamie Ann Moore? What led her to that stretch of railroad tracks in 1994? And most importantly—who took her life?

This episode isn’t just about science solving a mystery. It’s about dignity. It’s about the power of giving a name back to someone the world nearly forgot. And it’s about the reality that even after 30 years, justice is still waiting.

Because no one should remain a Jane Doe forever.
