It was an ordinary October day in 1978, and a utility worker named Steve was laying cable on a remote highway in Lyon County, Iowa. Just a short distance off the road he spotted what he thought was a mannequin. But as he got closer, he soon realized that he had come across something far worse. It was the partially clothed body of a dead woman, and it appeared she had been there for a while. It would take 27 years for this woman to get her name back: Wilma June Nissen. Identifying her would open the pages to Wilma’s story – chapters upon chapters of more tragedy and hardship than most people face in a whole long life. But Wilma experienced it all before she ended up dead in that ditch at just 23 years old. There are pages still missing from her book – and her daughter is now trying to find them, to learn her mother’s full story, and to fight for justice for a woman she never got the chance to know.
