On October 4, 1978 the body of a young female would be found along a rural road in Lyon County, Iowa. She was badly decomposed, partially clothed, and had been bound with rope. She was labeled a Jane Doe and the case quickly turned cold. She wouldn’t be identified until 28 years later in 2006. What happened to this woman and who was responsible remains a mystery to this day. This is the story of the Wilma June Nissen's unsolved murder.  ----------------------- To Submit a Tip for this Week's Case and to Connect: ****The Cold Case Coalition <a href="https://tel" target="_blank">(385) 258-3313</a> **Lyon County Sheriff's Department - <a href="https://lyoncounty.iowa.gov/sheriff/submit_a_crime_tip/" target="_blank">https://lyoncounty.iowa.gov/sheriff/submit_a_crime_tip/</a> **Iowa Attorney General's Cold Case Unit <a href="https://tel:1" target="_blank">1-800-242-5100</a> coldcase@ag.Iowa.gov Led by Scott Brown ****Crime Stoppers of Central Iowa ( not exactly the right jurisdiction, but it's something ) Anonymous tip line <a href="https://tel" target="_blank">(515) 223-1400</a> Or <a href="https://tel:1" target="_blank">1-800-452-1111</a> <a href="https://www.crimestoppersofcentraliowa.com/" target="_blank">www.crimestoppersofcentraliowa.com</a>  **** Crime Stoppers of North Centeral Iowa Anonymous tip line <a href="https://tel:1" target="_blank">1-800-383-0088</a> **** Sioux Falls Crimestoppers anonymous tip lines <a href="https://tel" target="_blank">(605) 367-7007</a> Or toll free <a href="https://tel" target="_blank">(187) 736-77007</a> <a href="https://www.crimestopperssiouxempire.com/" target="_blank">www.crimestopperssiouxempire.com</a> ****Krissi's email address dedicated to Wilma. Justice4Wilma@aol.com ****Facebook group- <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/950469630056425/?ref=share&amp;mibextid=NSMWBT" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/950469630056425/?ref=share&amp;mibextid=NSMWBT</a> ****Instagram page- <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wilma_june_nissen_cold_case?igsh=MnM5ODdqcHV3djFq" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/wilma_june_nissen_cold_case?igsh=MnM5ODdqcHV3djFq</a> ****Reddit page- <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/WilmaJuneNissen/s/nQpT0xiwwr" target="_blank">https://www.reddit.com/r/WilmaJuneNissen/s/nQpT0xiwwr</a> Or r/WilmaJuneNissen - <a href="https://lyoncounty.iowa.gov/sheriff/submit_a_crime_tip/" target="_blank">https://lyoncounty.iowa.gov/sheriff/submit_a_crime_tip/</a> GO FUND ME for DNA TESTING https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-support-dna-tech-to-find-wilma-june-nissens-killer?lang=en_US ---------------------- WAYS TO SUPPORT &amp; CONNECT: Join the Patreon for perks and ad free episodes starting at just $1/month: <a href="https://patreon.com/perplexitymysterypodcast" target="_blank">Patreon.com/perplexitymysterypodcast</a> Hit that follow button, drop a 5 star review, and spread the word!!!
