She Goes by Jane: A True Crime Podcast

<div> <p><br>On August 16, 1983, fourteen-year-old Elizabeth Miller left her home in Idaho Springs for a routine morning jog. It was something she did often—a way to stay in shape for basketball, a moment of independence in a small mountain community. But that morning, Elizabeth never came home.</p><p>Witnesses reported seeing Elizabeth speaking with a man in a pickup truck. Days earlier, a man matching that description had approached her—and became angry when she refused to engage. Investigators have spent decades trying to identify the man and determine what happened in the final moments before Elizabeth vanished.</p><p>Over the years, multiple persons of interest have emerged, including a man later linked to a similar truck and a disturbing claim involving a burial site in the mountains. Possible evidence has been discovered, tested, and re-examined—but no definitive answers have ever been found.</p><p>Elizabeth left behind her family and the ordinary rhythms of a fourteen-year-old girl’s life. Her case remains open, and her story remains unfinished.</p><p>If you have information about the disappearance of Elizabeth Miller, please contact the Idaho Springs Police Department at 303-567-4291.</p><p><strong><br>📍 </strong><em>Idaho Springs, Colorado  | August 1983<br></em></p><p>📖 Featuring an original poem written in her honor, read by <strong>Chrissy Champagne</strong>, host of the podcast Residue, where true crime meets the movies.</p><p>➡️ <strong>Help bring attention to missing and unidentified women</strong>—subscribe and share this episode.</p><p>📍 <strong>Find us on</strong><a href="https://instagram.com/she_goes_by_jane?igshid=NGVhN2U2NjQ0Yg=="><strong> Instagram</strong></a><strong> &amp; </strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089745836263&amp;mibextid=LQQJ4d"><strong>Facebook</strong></a><strong>.<br></strong></p><p>📚 Get Aimee’s book, <em>Doe</em>, now available via <a href="https://blogs.uakron.edu/uapress/product/doe/">University of Akron Press</a>, <a href="http://bookshop.org/">Bookshop.org</a>, and <a href="https://a.co/d/2ItYCjb">Amazon</a>.</p><p>📰 For more women-centered true crime content, subscribe to Aimee’s newsletter, <a href="http://www.girlhuntmedia.com/"><em>GIRLHUNT</em></a>.</p><p><strong><br><br></strong>Chrissy Champagne is a true crime podcast host and the creative force behind her show RESIDUE, where she single-handedly writes, researches, produces, edits, and hosts every episode.

<div> <p><br>On June 14, 1985, Charlotte Lysdale, a widow living in Pine River, Minnesota, drove to her former home on Lower Hay Lake to meet the man buying the property from her. She was last seen arriving between 6:10 and 6:20 p.m.</p><p>The buyer, Jerome Bye, later said he paid Lysdale thousands of dollars during the meeting and that she handed over the deed to the property. He told investigators she left a couple of hours later. No one ever saw her again.</p><p>When family members checked on her two days later, Charlotte’s apartment appeared undisturbed. Her car was in the garage. Fresh coffee grounds sat in the kitchen. But Charlotte was gone, and so was her purse.</p><p>Two years later, Jerome Bye was charged with murder and several other crimes connected to Lysdale’s disappearance. The case became the first murder trial in Minnesota to proceed without a body. </p><p>Nearly four decades later, Charlotte Lysdale has never been found.</p><p><strong><br>📍 </strong><em>Cass County, Minnesota  | June 1985<br></em></p><p>📖 Featuring an original poem written in her honor, read and written by Aimee Baker</p><p>➡️ <strong>Help bring attention to missing and unidentified women</strong>—subscribe and share this episode.</p><p>📍 <strong>Find us on</strong><a href="https://instagram.com/she_goes_by_jane?igshid=NGVhN2U2NjQ0Yg=="><strong> Instagram</strong></a><strong> &amp; </strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089745836263&amp;mibextid=LQQJ4d"><strong>Facebook</strong></a><strong>.<br></strong></p><p>📚 <strong>Get Aimee’s book, </strong><strong><em>Doe</em></strong><strong>, now available via </strong><a href="https://blogs.uakron.edu/uapress/product/doe/"><strong>University of Akron Press</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href="http://bookshop.org/"><strong><a href="http://Bookshop.org">Bookshop.org</a></strong></a><strong>, and </strong><a href="https://a.co/d/2ItYCjb"><strong>Amazon</strong></a><strong>.<br></strong></p><p>📰 <strong>For more women-centered true crime content, subscribe to Aimee’s newsletter, </strong><a href="http://www.girlhuntmedia.com/"><strong><em>GIRLHUNT</em></strong></a><strong>.<br><br>‘RSSVERIFY’</strong></p></div>

<div> <p><br>In July 1980, the body of a young pregnant woman was discovered in the parking lot of Westlake High School in Westlake, California. She had been brutally raped, strangled, and stabbed. Investigators quickly realized she had been killed somewhere else and left behind—but they had no idea who she was.</p><p>For decades, she was known only as Ventura County Jane Doe.</p><p>In 2015, DNA evidence linked her murder to serial killer Wilson Chouest, who was later convicted of the crime. But even with a killer identified, the woman he murdered remained nameless.</p><p>In 2018, the DNA Doe Project began working to restore her identity using genetic genealogy. Years of research, distant DNA matches, and family history slowly narrowed the search but it wasn’t until a breakthrough phone call in December 2025 connected investigators with a family who had been searching for their missing sister since 1980.</p><p>In 2026, Ventura County Jane Doe was finally identified as Maricela Rocha Parga, a nursing student, waitress, and mother of a two-year-old daughter who had immigrated to the United States from Monterrey, Mexico.</p><p>After forty-five years, Maricela finally has her name back.</p><p><strong><br>📍 </strong><em>Thousand Oaks, California | July 1980<br></em></p><p>📖 Featuring an original poem written in her honor, read and written by Aimee Baker</p><p>➡️ <strong>Help bring attention to missing and unidentified women</strong>—subscribe and share this episode.</p><p>📍 <strong>Find us on</strong><a href="https://instagram.com/she_goes_by_jane?igshid=NGVhN2U2NjQ0Yg=="><strong> Instagram</strong></a><strong> &amp; </strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089745836263&amp;mibextid=LQQJ4d"><strong>Facebook</strong></a><strong>.<br></strong></p><p>📚 <strong>Get Aimee’s book, </strong><strong><em>Doe</em></strong><strong>, now available via </strong><a href="https://blogs.uakron.edu/uapress/product/doe/"><strong>University of Akron Press</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href="http://bookshop.org/"><strong><a href="http://Bookshop.org">Bookshop.org</a></strong></a><strong>, and </strong><a href="https://a.co/d/2ItYCjb"><strong>Amazon</strong></a><strong>.<br></strong></p><p>📰 <strong>For more women-centered true crime content, subscribe to Aimee’s newsletter, </strong><a href="http://www.girlhuntmedia.com/"><strong><em>GIRLHUNT</em></strong></a><strong>.<br></strong></p></div>

<div> <p><br>In February 2022, 32-year-old Irene Gakwa vanished from Gillette, Wyoming. A nursing student who had moved from Kenya to pursue her dreams, Irene was deeply connected to her family—speaking with them almost every day. Then the calls suddenly stopped.</p><p>Strange text messages appeared, written in a way that didn’t sound like her. Her accounts were deleted. Her phone was deactivated. She was never heard from again.</p><p>Investigators believe Irene may have been taken to a remote area, but searches have brought no answers. A 55-gallon burn barrel, a gray Subaru Crosstrek, and a fiancé with disturbing actions are at the center of this unsolved case.
