About this episode

Update 2022:

We provide updates on our coverage of Julie Doe, an unidentified decedent and probable homicide victim found along a Florida highway in 1988. Julie was a trans woman assumed to be cisgender until 2015; since its inception, the Trans Doe Task Force has worked to amplify her case and actively seek her loved ones and chosen family in hopes of resolving her case. In addition, The DNA Doe Project is actively seeking volunteers to upload their DNA to GEDmatch in hopes of identifying Julie—particularly those who live in the Southeast.

An unidentified woman found on a Florida highway in 1988 is assumed to be cisgender until 2015--when advanced testing opens up new avenues of possible identification. Julie Doe is one of many women left along the highways of Florida; like so many others, her identity remains unknown, and her cause of death has not been fully determined. She is one of the many trans women whose cases lack resolution. Can you help to identify her? Special Thanks to DNA Doe Project and Trans Doe Task Force.
