In October 29, 2006, the grisly discovery of a burning body sets off a murder mystery in Kilgore, TX. For years, Lavender Doe went unidentified, her murder unsolved. Then, Felisha Pearson's violent murder reveals a killer at large in East Texas -- Joseph Burnette. However, police still didn't know Lavender's real name. That is, until the DNA Doe Project got involved.
