DNA testing confirms identity of woman's remains found in Toledo in 1987

In 1987, a driver discovered the burned body of Toledo Jane Doe near I-75 on Collingwood Boulevard.
The lack of evidence due to fire damage complicated the case, hindering identification efforts.
The coroner determined Tammy Lowe overdosed, with cocaine in her system, a day or two before the fire.
Despite entering her DNA into CODIS and connecting her to missing persons, previous identification attempts failed.
In October 2024, the Porchlight Project funded Othram to conduct genetic genealogy, leading to Tammy Lowe's identification.
