Naming the Nameless

In 1984, two fishermen found a woman's torso in the Spokane River. Fourteen years later, a skull police determined belonged to the same victim was discovered on the lower south hill. It took nearly four decades, but a solid partnership between Spokane Police, the Spokane Medical Examiner's Office and advancements in DNA technology finally gave her, her name back. The victim was Ruth Waymire. The identity of her killer remains unknown. Ruth is one of many these agencies have stopped at nothing to identify as they work tirelessly to name the nameless.
