Amore Wiggins Memorial
In January of 2012, remains of a small child were located in a wooded area off of Hurst Street in Opelika. The child became affectionally known as Baby Jane Doe for the next 11 years. In January of 2023, the Opelika Police Department announced that they had identified the child as Amore Jo'Veah Wiggins. In February of 2023, Amore was laid to rest in Virginia.
Because Amore spent the past decade in Opelika and has become a part of our family, OPD would like to place a memorial marker within the community to honor her. We are still trying to find a location for placement but would like to start working on raising the funds needed for this project.
The estimated cost of a custom statue is approximately $15,000. Once funds are raised, it is estimated to take 6+ months to create.
