‘The Jane Doe Murders’ Preview
This new two-hour special examines unidentified crime victims. The Jane Doe Murders stars Yolanda McClary, a “renowned forensic specialist and former Las Vegas crime investigator who specializes in the recovery of DNA,” according to the Oxygen press release.
The press release says that in the United States alone, there are nearly 40,000 open cases “in which the victim of a violent crime remains unidentified and loved ones are never returned to their families. These victims are called Jane or John Doe, and they become cold cases. There can be no justice for them or their families—but one Jane Doe gets a second look that changes everything.”
McClary “has made it her mission to help give Jane Does their names back. Using groundbreaking new forensic technology and DNA databases, Yolanda and her team of genealogists set out to help local law enforcement solve a murder case from 23 years ago and reveal the identity of a woman left for dead in the remote woods of Polk County, Oregon. With nothing but bones, Yolanda works feverishly to piece together what happened and potentially uncover clues that can help open new roads in the case.”
Oxygen is one of the fastest-growing cable networks with its popular original programming Snapped, Cold Justice, Killer Couples, Criminal Confessions, The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway, Dahmer on Dahmer: A Killer Speaks, and Aaron Hernandez Uncovered.
The Jane Doe Murders premieres Sunday, January 3 at 7 p.m. ET/PT on Oxygen.
