In March, 1995, 2 scrap scavemgers found an abandoned refrigerator in a canal area known as 'Whiskey Slew' in Holt, California. As they tried to remove the fridge, it opened revealing it's ghastly contents; the decomposed remains of a young woman.

An investigation of the body revealed that the woman had been murdered; the victim of blunt force trauma to the head. Although she had no identification, police hoped that using the scant clues and items found inside the fridge, that they would be able to ID her. That didn't happen, and she became known as 'The Lady In The Fridge'. She was buried, and her skull was kept with hopes that it would one day help identify her.

Years later, DNA & genealogy would ultimately give 'The Lady In The Fridge' her name back. She was Amanda Deza, who would have been 30 years old when her remains were found.

In June 1982, Lee Rotatori was excited for the new job that meant a move to Council Bluffs, Iowa. But when Lee was found murdered in the Best Western there, police were stumped.

On September 26,2014, the remains of an unidentified man were found in a decommissioned railroad switching shed located behind American Legion in Rosemount, Minnesota. Although the remains were mostly skeletonized and too decomposed to determine a cause of death, it appeared that he had died of natural causes. Items and belongings found with him were indications to the authorities that the man was possibly homeless, and had died from exposure due to the cold Minnesota winter. He was dubbed 'Rosemount John Doe'.
