Washington State Mysteries

  The Clark County Sheriff's Office is  asking  for the public's help in solving a 1970s cold case involving a teenager once known as the "Fly Creek Jane Doe."

The case began when unidentified remains were found in 1980. The remains were identified as Morden in 2019 through DNA analysis of samples provided by her family members, the sheriff's office said in a statement.
