Shera LaPoint reflects at the memorial marker where the body of Donna Gonsoulin Prudhomme was discovered in 1991. LaPoint worked on the team that eventually used DNA to find Prudhomme’s family members. That led to authorities being able to identify Prudhomme, who had been known for the past 28 years as “Janet Doe.” She was honored for her work with an award from the League City (Texas) Police Department. {Photo courtesy of Shera LaPoint}
