On April 19, 1990, the body of 29-year-old Patrice Corley was found behind a truck stop near State Route 37 and Interstate 70 in Licking County, Ohio, about 20 miles east of Columbus. She was discovered partially clothed, wearing only underwear, and the autopsy determined her cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head; she had been beaten to death and left near a dumpster behind the busy truck stop.

The woman remained unidentified for nearly 27 years and was known as Jane Doe until 2017, when a DNA sample from her family in Louisville, Kentucky — who had reported her missing in 2016 — produced a match. Corley was a military veteran and a mother of a young son. Detectives do not know how she came to be in rural Ohio or who killed her. Some have suggested a possible link to a suspected serial offender nicknamed Dr. No, who targeted women at truck stops and rest areas in Ohio in the 1980s and 1990s, but no arrest has been announced and the investigation remains active.

Did anyone who knew Patrice, or who worked at or frequented the truck stop area in April 1990, notice anything unusual that day?
