Cold Case Reboot -The Mystery of “Pogonip Jane”

In December 2013, “Pogonip Jane” was identified as Kori Joanne Lamaster. This cold case did not end with her identification.

SCPD is looking for information from anyone who might have had contact with Kori as she traveled through the Santa Cruz area around 1993. Kori was 17 years old at the time of her death. She was traveling along California’s coast from Pacifica to Santa Cruz.
