Case Update: Bitter Creek Betty & I-90 Jane Doe Identified as Irene Vasquez and Cindi Estrada

Case Update: Bitter Creek Betty & I-90 Jane Doe Identified as Irene Vasquez and Cindi Estrada

For more than 30 years, they had no names. One was known only as Bitter Creek Betty, found murdered near a Wyoming highway in 1992. The other was called the Sheridan County / I-90 Jane Doe, discovered the same year on the opposite end of the state. Both were young. Both were forgotten—until forensic DNA finally gave them back their identities.

Now we know who they were: Irene Vasquez and Cindi Arleen Estrada. This episode explores how investigators solved their cases, the tragic connection between them, and what justice looks like when the killer dies before facing trial.

For decades, their voices were silenced. Today, we say their names.

📖 Featuring an original poem in their honor, read by Ginger Strand. Ginger is the author of Killer on the Road: Violence and the American Interstate and several other works of narrative nonfiction. ✨ She Goes By Jane is a true crime podcast about missing and unidentified women. Each episode combines deep research with original poetry and victim-centered storytelling — no gore, no sensationalism.
