86. Unforgotten: The Murder of Tammy Jo Alexander
Sketch of person of interest in the murder of Tammy Jo Alexander
In November of 1979, the body of a female was found in a cornfield in the village of Caledonia, New York. She had been shot twice.
With no identification on her and no missing persons reports matching her description, her identity was a mystery. She became known as Caledonia Jane Doe.
Over the next 3 decades, thousands of tips came in but nothing that provided answers. Then one day, a woman took to Facebook in hopes of finding her old friend, and a mystery was solved.
This is the story of Tammy Jo Alexander.
