Almost 40 years ago, police with the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office investigated the murder of a woman that ended up becoming the department's 'most publicized Jane Doe case' ever.
She didn't have any identification on her and became known as the"Lyme Lady" after investigators determined her killer had tried to"destroy evidence and speed up the decaying process for her body," police said.
Oklahoma County police were able to identify the victim of a 1980 murder as Tamara Lee Tigard after contacting The DNA Doe Project which matched her DNA with a second cousin, who voluntarily uploaded his or her DNA to the system. Oklahoma County police were able to identify the victim of a 1980 murder as Tamara Lee Tigard after contacting The DNA Doe Project which matched her DNA with a second cousin, who voluntarily uploaded his or her DNA to the system."I always just wanted to bring dignity to the victim in this case," said Capt. Bob Green, who worked the case from the beginning."All of these years she has been gone without a trace, with none of her family or acquaintances knowing what happened to her.
The city's medical examiner assisted in securing her military medical records, which helped positively identify her along with her dental records, police said."Now she can be properly recognized," Green said."Her life has meaning, and we can respectfully honor her."
