It took 16 years for police to identify remains found in a shallow grave in Florida as Jeana Burrus – but still questions remain. What happened to her? And why was she never reported missing?

She was 39 at the time of her death, and was married with a son, yet so much of Jeana Burrus’ life still remains a mystery.
