Good detective work. Next, the perp.

I’ve been watching “Police Story” on YouTube. It was a very good series.

A detective saw the forensic sketch of the Jane Doe and found the victim's "uniquely long face" was similar to that of another woman named Rita Lange, according to Taylor.

Some of these guys are amazing. We've been watching "Investigative Discovery" and have been floored when one of these guys dredges up something from his memory which aids the case. That, and "The Hand of God" scenarios - as in one case where the sheriff stopped to watch some roadside turkeys (he was a hunter), noticed a trail leading away, spotted a piece of cloth that turned out to be the body of a women who had been reported missing.

If you stop and think of the the "could have beens" it makes you go Hmmm.
1) Just "happened" to be driving along that rural road (he wasn't searching for her then).
2) The turkeys just "happened" to walk up to the road just when he was passing. A few minutes/seconds later, he would have had no reason to stop.
3) He just "happened" to notice the trail and "happened" to spot that flash of color in the brush.

Some of these shows have a warning that actors are used and some parts are fictionalized, so it might have been just the result of a good crime writer, yet . . .
