In February 1995, a woman who called herself Gigi was found wandering in the streets of New Orleans. She spent six weeks at a hospital and four months at a psychiatric clinic, where her condition perplexed doctors. Gigi said that she had amnesia, and her story became the subject of an Unsolved Mysteries episode.
Shortly after the installation, Nancy Lawrence of Newcastle, DE, called in and identified Gigi as Belinda Lin, her former 31-year-old coworker who had been a medical secretary. Dental records confirmed Lin's identity. Her parents learned that Lin had disappeared, but they did not notify any authorities. Lin had been diagnosed with schizophrenia since age 18 and was not taking antipsychotic medication for several years.
