SATURDAY ON 48 HOURS MYSTERY, AT A SPECIAL TIME, 8pmET/7CT
Here's an early preview of Saturday night's broadcast: 48 Hours Mystery: The Girl Next Door
Murders are rare in the northern California community of Castro Valley. So it was extremely unusual when on May 1, 2003 the body of a young girl was discovered murdered, stuffed into a trash bag and discarded behind a local restaurant. The way she died was extremely gruesome -- she had suffocated with a rag in her throat. Who would have wanted this girl dead? First authorities had to figure out who their victim was. She wasn't carrying ID and her body was already decomposed. Investigators would call in a team of forensics experts and they determined she was a teenager -- between 14 and 17 years old. Then a forensic artist created an amazing sculpture based upon the victim's bone structure. The sculpture gave a face to the girl who had only been known as Castro Valley's Jane Doe. But will it help authorities figure out the identity of the young victim?
In January 2006, 48 Hours Mystery reported on the case of Castro Valley's Jane Doe, and calls started pouring in with information on the young girl. One of those calls would turn this case around. The information brought detectives to Mexico, chasing their latest lead across the border in the hopes of identifying their Jane Doe. Harold Dow has the story in this week's 48 Hours Mystery, "The Girl Next Door".
