She Goes by Jane: A True Crime Podcast

Patricia Weeks, Cynthia Jabour, and Carol Ann Riley disappeared years apart after ending relationships with the same man: Robert Weeks, whose case would later be featured on Unsolved Mysteries.
In 1979, Patricia Weeks vanished from Las Vegas shortly after divorcing Robert Weeks and gaining custody of their four children. More than a decade later, Arizona real estate agent Cynthia Jabour disappeared after telling friends she planned to leave him as well. Then, in 1986, it happened again. Nurse Carola Ann Riley went missing after trying to end her relationship with Robert.
Their cases shared disturbing similarities: planned dinner dates, abandoned vehicles, missing personal belongings, and a man who repeatedly claimed the women had disappeared on their own.
Their stories are about coercive control, violence against women, and what it means when justice arrives long after someone is gone.

When Toni Bachman disappeared from White Bear Township, Minnesota in April 1997, investigators initially faced uncertainty. Some believed she may have left on her own. But as police searched the family home, disturbing evidence began to emerge—evidence that challenged the idea that Toni had simply walked away.
In Part 2 of this two-part series, we follow the investigation into Toni Bachman’s disappearance as it shifted from a missing persons case to something far darker. Inside the Bachman home, authorities uncovered blood, tissue, and signs of violence. Yet despite mounting evidence, no arrest came for years.
This episode explores the long aftermath of Toni’s disappearance: the changing explanations, the pressure placed on Norman Bachman’s children to recount what they witnessed, allegations of violence that followed, and the decades-long wait before charges were finally filed.
Nearly eighteen years after Toni vanished, a confession would offer answers—but not closure.
Because Toni Bachman has never been found.

In 1997, as the internet connected strangers across state lines, Minnesota-native Toni Bachman formed a close bond with a man in West Virginia. Friends say she was thinking seriously about change. About leaving. About building a future that looked different from the life she had.
Then she disappeared.
At first, there were questions no one could answer. Did Toni leave her marriage behind? Did she run away to begin a new life? Or did something happen inside the home she shared with her husband and stepchildren?
In Part 1 of this two-part series, we explore Toni’s life before she vanished: her marriage, devastating personal losses, career instability, and the online relationships that became a source of comfort during one of the hardest periods of her life.

An unidentified woman found living in Honolulu in 2004 remains without a name—exploring the rare and overlooked reality of living Jane Doe cases in the U.S.
In 2004, an unidentified woman was found living in a beach park in Honolulu, Hawaii—alive, but unable to say who she was.

Known as the Honolulu Jane Doe, she was diagnosed with dementia and schizophrenia, leaving her without a name, a history, or a way to return to whatever life she once had.
In this episode of She Goes by Jane, we examine her case and the broader, often overlooked reality of living Jane Does in the United States. What happens when someone is found alive but cannot identify themselves? Why are these cases so difficult to resolve? And what does it reveal about the systems meant to protect the most vulnerable?
We situate her story within larger conversations around mental health, identity, and the gaps in investigative processes that leave some women unnamed, even in life.

If you grew up in the 1980s, you may have seen Tammy Lynn Leppert without ever knowing her name.
A model, aspiring actress, and rising presence in Hollywood, Tammy appeared in films like Scarface and Spring Break. With her striking look and growing momentum, 1983 was supposed to be the year everything changed.
Instead, it became the year she disappeared.
On July 6, 1983, Tammy left her home, telling her mother she would be back shortly. She was last seen in Cocoa Beach after an argument with a friend. She has never been seen again.
In this episode of She Goes By Jane, we look beyond the headlines and theories to focus on who Tammy was—her ambitions, her discipline, and the life she was building before it was abruptly interrupted.
We explore the days leading up to her disappearance, the unanswered questions that remain, and the ways her case was shaped by early assumptions and missed opportunities.
This is a story about visibility, vulnerability, and what happens when someone can be seen by so many and still vanish without a trace.
