In 2006, a horrific discovery rocked the small town of Kilgore, Texas: the burned body of an unidentified woman found abandoned in an oil field. For 13 years, she was known only as Lavender Doe, a Jane Doe case that haunted the community and a dedicated Texas lawman determined to bring her killer to justice. This Friday, A&E’s “Cold Case Files: Dead West” tells the story of how perseverance, community support, and the tireless pursuit of answers finally cracked the case.
The episode, “The Death of Lavender Doe,” tracks the years-long investigation, showing how the rural community rallied together to help identify the victim and bring closure to her family.
“Cold Case Files: Dead West” airs this Friday, March 14th at 10:00 PM on A&E.
