There are plenty of tragic and terrifying murders each year in the United States. But perhaps even more frightening is that some victims lose their identity very identity when they die, as authorities are unable to determine who they are and allow their loved ones lay them to rest.

7/6c, retired crime scene investigator Yolanda McClary is determined to name an unidentified murder victim and find her killer. But that victim is far from the only Jane Doe out there.
The terms “Jane Doe” and John Doe” are used when referring to someone whose name is unknown, like a body that cannot be identified yet, or someone who doesn’t want their name revealed, like an individual in a court case. The moniker is even used as a signature on checks featured in advertisements, The New York Times Magazine reported in 1995.
Cape Cod Times
WELLFLEET Quietly, the numbers of stranded turtles this year have piled up, with over 900 plucked off Cape beaches over the past six weeks.
While a typical year might see a couple of hundred of these tropical turtles coming ashore after Thanksgiving, 720 turtles have received veterinary care between the New England Aquarium’s Animal Care Center in Quincy and the National Marine Life Center in Buzzards Bay. That s more than the all-time record of 692 turtles admitted for care between the two facilities in 2014.
Volunteers trained by the Massachusetts Audubon Society’s Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary walk Cape beaches every day in conditions that favor turtle strandings. Loggerheads, Kemp’s ridley and green turtles become trapped in Cape Cod Bay in the fall as the waters north of the bay cool, making it impossible for these cold-blooded animals to swim around Race Point and head south to warmer waters.
