Jane Doe left her family's home in Memphis in 1984 and came to Galveston County. Her remains were found the next year. Her family in Tennessee was notified that the remains were those of their missing relative.

"When I was younger and all this started, I was really emotional and we hoped for the best, and it just didn't turn out this way," said a family member by phone Friday. "Now we'll have some closure that we know she'll be brought home to us."
