The Great Basin Jane Does: Unidentified Victims Found Along Interstate 80


Listen Later

Across the empty desert highways of Nevada, a disturbing pattern has emerged over the decades — unidentified women found along Interstate 80 in the Great Basin, their names lost but their stories still waiting to be told.

These victims are known only as Jane Does.

In this episode of Interstate: Highly Deadly, we examine the cases of the Great Basin Jane Does, women whose remains were discovered along one of America’s longest highways. Many investigators believe these victims may be connected to long-haul trucking routes, transient travel corridors, or serial predators who used the interstate system as a hunting ground.

Despite decades passing, several of these women remain unidentified.

Who were they?

Where did they come from?

And who put them along the shoulder of America’s highways?

This episode explores the mystery, the investigation, and the ongoing efforts to give these women their names back.
