Her killer dumped her dismembered body in a freeway turnout near Baker five years ago, but authorities are no closer to capturing the killer now than they were then.
That's why the case of 19-year-old Jodi Brewer's horrifying death will be featured tonight on the popular television show "America's Most Wanted."
"We're hoping this can help us find Jodi's killer," said San Bernardino County sheriff's Sgt. Tom Bradford, who is working the case. "We have nothing right now, so we'll give it our best shot. We're hoping this will stimulate someone's memory."
Brewer's torso was discovered Aug. 27, 2003, wrapped in a plastic bag in a turnout off the 15 Freeway near Baker. Her arms, legs and head have never been found.
It took several weeks to identify the Las Vegas prostitute who reportedly worked near the Hard Rock Hotel and still had purple braces on her teeth.
Investigators believe she may have fallen victim to a serial killer who targeted three other Las Vegas prostitutes from 2003 to 2006.
Two others were dismembered in a similar manner and their remains found on highways across the country. A fourth woman has never been located.
