Well, it turned out that Glen was a half-brother to this Jane Doe that investigators were trying to identify.

Eventually, they came across a woman named Kimberly Beech, who was a sister of their Jane Doe, and they were able to determine that Jane Doe was really Nicole Weis.

Nicole was born in Michigan, but then she moved to LA in the 90s. She had only been 20-years-old when she was discovered set on fire in that church parking lot, and her sister Kimberly spent decades wondering why she had disappeared.
