28: SOLVED CASE - Avondale Jane Doe Identified

Back in 2018, an unidentified woman was discovered dead and partially buried near an apartment complex in Avondale, a Cincinnati, Ohio neighborhood.

For years, she was known only as the "Avondale Jane Doe" or the "Rose Lady." 

Fast forward to 2025... and that woman has been identified. Thanks to the work of investigators with the Hamilton County Coroner's Office, the Ohio BCI, and the FBI, Patricia Collina Goodwin's family members finally have some answers. 

In this episode of Season Two of Cincinnati's Crime Vault: Beyond the Broadcast, Investigative Reporter and TV News Anchor Jessica Schmidt shares the full update on this investigation and breaks down how DNA and forensic genetic genealogy solved this case.
