Ten years ago another Jane Doe was dumped at a hospital emergency room after a drug overdose. Her real name was Nicole Hansen, and when she awoke from her coma she knew she desperately needed to turn her life around. A few months later, she won the Miss Utah Teen USA pageant (2001), and so began her journey around the world.
