Talking Dateline: The Woman with No Name
Josh Mankiewicz and Keith Morrison sit down to talk about Keith’s episode, “The Woman with No Name”. In 2006, two men out target shooting discovered the body of a woman in the woods of Kilgore, Texas. She had been murdered and her body had been set on fire. She had no ID and, despite their efforts, investigators were unable to identify her. The case caught the eye of internet sleuths drawn to the unidentified woman in the lavender shirt who still had some of her baby teeth. She became known as “Lavender Doe”. Members of an organization called the “DNA Doe Project” took up the cause and offered their help. Using genetic genealogy, they worked tirelessly to track down Lavender Doe’s family and give her back her name – Dana Lynn Dodd. Josh and Keith discuss the dedicated work of the DNA Doe Project and chat about the impact their fathers have had on their lives. Also, Dateline digital producer Veronica Mazaika shares details on some unsolved Doe cases Dateline has covered in our Cold Case Spotlight series. Plus, she asks Josh and Keith a question from a social media follower.Learn more about the John and Jane Doe cases covered in Dateline’s Cold Case Spotlight series :https://www.nbcnews.com/doe-casesSubmit unsolved cold cases to Dateline here: https://www.nbcnews.com/dateline/have-story-share-dateline-submit-it-here-n1297196Watch Keith read Dr. Seuss’ “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”: https://youtu.be/Ty_V5h12RHw?si=Z2HeHerNGxz2qak8Listen to the full episode of “The Woman With No Name” on Apple: https://apple.co/41xrOCfListen to the full episode on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1gnH9lOdKkFwqXIiovqZvs Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
