In this episode of Crime Watch Daily Updates: On February 15, 1991, a victim known only as Valentine Jane Doe was discovered naked, beaten, and strangled in a ravine. She had been sexually assaulted and killed with the strings of her bikini. Her clothes were scattered around her body.
She remained Valentine Jane Doe until a major break came in the case in June 2020. Thanks to advancements in DNA technology, investigators identified her as 18-year-old Wanda Deann Kirkum of Hornell, New York. They also named her killer: Robert Lynn Bradley. He was killed in April 1992 in Texas.

Commercials on this channel are waaay too long!!!!
It’s so crazy when people go unidentified. It just makes me think like, where is their family? Were they not reported missing by anyone!? Like HOW?!
Robert Lynn Bradley was himself murdered and DNA taken at his own autopsy linked him to this.
I am confused by this video. How did they identify her? How did they identify her killer? How did he die? WTF is the story here? I cannot imagine how badly they screwed the story up on their other sites.
Rest In Peace Wanda 🕊✨️🕯✨️🕊
Are hand prints or foot prints useful in identification? Hospitals take baby foot prints perhaps this Jane Doe had her 🦶🏻 or hand prints taken? Those newborn prints are not kept in records?
Their identity image of her is HOT.. nothing like Wanda 😮. He was murdered a year after he murdered her😮 karma
R.I.P. Wanda 🥀🪦🪽
so you don't put the conclusion, that she was actually identified, said her name, showed who she was, her family friends? that was really dumb. the whole episode is "who is he?" while 5 seconds in the very beginning, oh her name is. but let's show the whole video where we couldn't find her as if she's still missing
If Valentine Jane Doe was much loved, why hasn't someone come forward to claim her. That is suspicious in itself. Thank goodness there are dedicated men and women out these trying to return identities to their owners and hopefully find their killers. And with that….
STOP KILLING OUR EARTH ANGELS YOU POS. WE NEED THEM DOWN HERE!
RIP, darling one.
So glad they identified her finally! I used to live in Cudjoe Key (mm23) a few years ago and I remember hearing people talk about her story after all those years.
So what happened to her child ? I hope he/she is with a loving family
Seeing the voice behind some of my favorite television episodes is wild. I remember thinking wow she sounds like tamra hall when she did this
Merry Christmas Ana and true crime family!!!!
I hope the killer is punished for what he did, since he’s not in hell; in fact, he was dead for 24 years.
It's crazy that you'd post this without the actual update. Thanks to the people in the comments for providing the update. Messyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
So scary what women go through on a daily basis. Can't even go out for a nice exercise walk/jog during the broad daylight anymore. For this to happen to her in the 90s in the middle of the road where no one could hear her scream. I can only imagine how horrifying it was for her. At least her killed was murdered a year later. Feels like justice for me and for her family.
It looks easy but it takes a lot of guts. Keep on keeping on, success is waiting
😢 my condolences RIP
Okay I've lived on the beach in Florida my entire life. I do not have tan lines. I don't go to the beach. it's not fun to me. . I don't like to heat, I don't like the salt water, I don't like the sand , I don't like to seagulls. you'll never find tan lines on me. I just had to mention that that doesn't necessarily mean you're not from Florida, because usually the natives from Florida do not have Tans. It's the people that visit because they think they have to have a tan to be in Florida It's part of their get ready for my vacation regimen. People that actually live in Florida if they want a tan they go to the tanning bed. Because there's too many people on the beach it's overcrowded nowhere to park. tanning bed takes 10 minutes
