She Goes by Jane: A True Crime Podcast3 Sep 2024

Episode 52: Parker County Jane Doe with guest reader Kate Roman

In 1998, an unidentified woman’s remains are found near a highway truck stop in Weatherford, Texas. It is believed that she died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound, but in the past 26 years no one has come forward to claim her. Today, little has been publicized about her case, making her one of the many unidentified women whose stories aren’t told.

This week our guest reader is Kate Roman, a teenage actor, dancer, and singer from Toronto, Canada who's been performing on stage and screen since age 4. She is a highly skilled, technically trained dancer in 7 genres with 12 years professional level training. Credits include a leading role as Ariana on The Next Step season 9 (BBC, CBC, YTV), Netflix films 13:The Musical and Feel The Beat, Amelia Parker/The Parker Andersons, Charlotte Cardin’s Sad Girl music video, The Big Fun Crafty Show, and Gerry Dee's Kids That Are Amazing at Stuff. Musical Theatre experience includes community productions of: The Lion King (Nala) and Aladdin (Narrator). Awards include: Joey Award winner for Best Actress and Young Artist Award nomination for the short film Butterfly. In dance, Kate is the recipient of several first overall solo awards over many years, is ranked top 10 in North America (The Dance Awards Orlando and Las Vegas) and received team gold in Germany (IDO World Show Dance). Kate understands the importance of giving back by mentoring young girls in the arts and in life, to ensure a balance in both physical and mental health by promoting a positive outlook and self-care in what can be a challenging time growing up.
