JANE DOE: The Dana Point Headlands area was awash with spotlights this week as a film crew from NBC’s TV show “Unsolved Mysteries” finished an episode about a nearly 7-year-old mystery.

The young woman was picked up at the Hampton Inn in Mission Viejo, and where she came before that, “nobody knows.” Tentative broadcast date: Nov. 4.

ODOR BE GONE? Relief is on the way for Huntington Beach residents near Central Park who complained about their skunk problem. They can take a plastic bag to the Shipley Nature Center at the park, and will be given free a product called OdorGone. . . . Odorless and not harmful to humans, it supposedly acts like a magnet to attract offensive molecules. The city will also begin trapping the skunks this weekend for transfer to a wilderness area.
