In June 1983, 12-year-old Ann Gotlib vanished from outside Bashford Manor Mall in Louisville, Kentucky. Ann was a gifted pianist, writer, and recent immigrant whose family had fled the Soviet Union seeking a better life for her. What should have been an ordinary afternoon ended in one of Kentucky’s most haunting unsolved missing child cases.

As Ann’s disappearance gripped the city, her case became part of a national reckoning about missing children in America. Her image spread across billboards and television screens, her name spoken alongside Adam Walsh and Etan Patz. But despite the attention, investigators found themselves chasing dead ends, unreliable witnesses, and theories that raised more questions than answers.

Years later, a convicted killer on death row would claim he knew what happened to Ann. His confession sent investigators racing to dig up the past. But just as hope surged, the truth slipped further away. And beneath it all lay a disturbing question: what if the answer had been there all along — and no one listened?

Fourteen-year-old Coral Hall made one last desperate call to a friend from a pay phone in Flint, Michigan on September 22, 1998—the day after her birthday. Just hours earlier, she had gone to the state Department of Human Services to report the abuse happening at home.

But by the time help arrived, Coral was gone.

For years, police believed she was a runaway. But beneath the surface was a history of family violence, neglect, and a system that failed to protect her. This episode traces Coral’s final days, the overlooked red flags, and the long road to the truth about what happened to her.

🎙️ She Goes by Jane tells the stories of unsolved cases of missing and unidentified women and girls.

In this case update, we cover the latest developments in the disappearance of the Martin Family. The 1958 Christmas holiday was quickly approaching, and the Martin family of five set out on a quiet Sunday drive to collect greenery for their holiday decorations. They waved goodbye to their neighbors, never to return. Months later, the bodies of two of the children, Susan and her older sister Virginia, were found in Oregon’s Columbia River, but the rest of the family was never found. Their sudden, mysterious disappearance sparked decades of rumors and whispers, many of which may now, finally, be laid to rest with a shocking new development—a potential discovery of their car. Could this lead to the answers that have eluded investigators for over six decades?

In 1974, a teenager riding his bike stumbled upon a body behind the newly built mall in Altamonte Springs, Florida. The woman—later known as Seminole County Jane Doe—was stabbed, possibly sexually assaulted, and left unidentified for decades.

In 1982, Gerald Stano, a man who would confess to dozens of murders, claimed responsibility for her death. But even his confession did little to answer the most important question: who was she?

Today, forensic experts and investigative genetic genealogists at Ramapo College are working to uncover her identity, tracing her ancestry and building family trees in the hope of giving her a name and closure to her family.

This episode examines the crime scene, the details that reveal her life, the complicated legacy of serial confessions, and the tireless work of modern investigators. Seminole County Jane Doe’s story is a reminder that every victim deserves to be remembered as a person—not a statistic.

If you have information, please contact Seminole County law enforcement. Every share helps in the search for her identity.
