51. Princess Doe Has A Name

She was unknown to those who loved her, for 40 years. It’s 1982 in Blairstown, NJ - a quaint town with an old-timey feel, its residents were rocked upon the discovery of a murder victim in the local cemetery. The lead investigator Eric Kranz said “I’ll worry about the murder later on. My main concern is finding out who she is.” He was tired of writing “Jane Doe”, so, she was named “Princess Doe”. Her autopsy revealed she was between 14 and 18 years old, and she put up a fight. The residents came together, helped fund Princess Doe’s funeral, and had a gravestone made for her. For 40 years, they left flowers and searched for her family, praying they’d learn her name. And then, in 2022, they finally got answers.
