I met Sylvia Pettem at a conference last year and had lunch with her. She recently wrote as a guest on the blog: Defrosting Cold Cases, about an unidentified child whose remains were found in Prescott Arizona. You can read that post here.
Sylvia also wrote a fascinating book about an unidentified woman’s remains that were found and buried in her hometown of Boulder, Colorado as a Jane Doe. (Someone’s Daughter: In Search of Justice for Jane Doe.)
Sylvia painstakingly worked to identify the woman and discovered what happened to her.
That book is available here.
