Krissi's Search: The Murder of Wilma June Nissen

In 1978, the body of a young woman was discovered in a rural Iowa ditch—no name, no missing persons report, and clear signs of a violent death. For 27 years, she was known only as a Jane Doe. Her name was Wilma June Nissen. She was 23 years old and believed to have been killed in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, around the time of her daughter Krissi’s first birthday. In this episode, Krissi Haas shares her decades-long search for the truth and the emotional journey to reclaim the story of the mother she never had the chance to know. If you have any information about Wilma June Nissen, her murder, or individuals known as Sugar or Peaches, please consider reaching out. Krissi Haas is still searching for answers, and even the smallest detail could help. You’ll find contact information and links to other resources dedicated to Wilma below.
