May 30th: Michelle Busha's Body Found (1980) Jane and John Doe cases are always frustrating ones. Especially when the identity remains a mystery. This case, however, has the small silver lining of not just finding out who the victim was, but putting her killer behind bars for her murder. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Michelle_Busha, https://unidentified-awareness.fandom.com/wiki/Michelle_Busha, https://www.fox9.com/news/explainer-how-jane-doe-was-identified-as-michelle-busha-35-years-later, https://truecrimereport.news.blog/2020/10/28/the-murder-of-michelle-busha/, https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/07/16/missing-texas-girl-mystery-solved/30254607/, https://www.faribaultcountyregister.com/opinions/editorials/2023/02/26/not-one-but-two-tv-shows-about-a-43-year-old-murder/, https://www.faribaultcountyregister.com/opinions/2017/03/05/one-final-chapter-in-jane-doe-story/, https://www.inquisitr.com/4096763/michelle-busha-blue-earth-state-trooper-hitchhiker-murder-on-ids-jane-doe Learn more about your ad choices.
