Episode 58 DOE ID 'Opelika Jane Doe' Amore Joveah Wiggins

In January, 2012, a resident in a trailer park located in Opelika, Alabama made a startling discovery when he found what he believed to be a small human skull. Police were called out to investigate, and upon further searching, found more human remains and hair in the woods nearby. Sadly, they determined that the remains belonged to a young female child and she had been murdered. Closer examination of her remains proved that she had suffered a great deal of injuries and broken bones in her short life. Police worked hard searching missing persons cases that matched the details of this small child, but found no cases that they could link. Police came to believe that this little girl who came to be known as 'Opelika Jane Doe' had died at the hands of someone in charge of taking care of her and that she was likely never reported missing. After almost a decade, forensic genealogy would identify her and fill in the details surrounding the little girl's short & tragic backstory. Finding out who she was would also lead to the people suspected of murdering her. For years, she was known as 'Opelika Jane Doe' but we now know her name; she was 5 year old Amore Joveah Wiggins, and this is her story.
