"For Laurah Norton, true crime was always more of a passion than anything else. But after learning about a mishandled 1990s cold case involving the missing Millbrook twins, she spurred to action, created a massively popular podcast, and built a platform that helped bring widespread attention and resources to the case. And she didn't stop there ... [A]fter she stumbled across the case of 'Ina Jane Doe'--an unidentified woman whose decapitated head was found tucked in the brush of an Illinois park in 1993--Laurah has been more determined than ever to help this victim reclaim her identity so she can finally be laid to rest. In [this book], Laurah teams up with forensic anthropologist Dr. Amy Michael and an eclectic group of experts to unearth the identity of 'Ina Jane Doe' in real time. Along the way, she dives deep into the methodology and explores the wide array of innovative techniques that experts use to solve these once-unsolvable cases ... [S]he also examines why some of the most heartbreaking cases--the 'missing missing,' the sex workers, the undocumented victims--are still unsolved, especially when these cases desperately need our attention and so rarely get it"--Dust jacket flap.
