10 ore 30 agos 1980 anni - LA Jane Doe Aug. 1980 UID & HOMICIDE

Descrizione:

On Sunday, August 24, 1980, a teenager discovered the remains of a girl in the Montecito Hills Regional Park at Griffin & Montecito in East Los Angeles. The teenager did not report the body to the police until six days later.

At 10am on Saturday, August 30, 1980, police located the mummified remains where the teenager indicated, on the ground at the base of a ravine in a remote, fairly inaccessible wooded area of steep hills and dense foliage 0.25mi east of the 110 freeway.

According to the Doe Network, it was determined that Jane Doe had been murdered, and that she was killed at the location where she was found. All parts were recovered. The decedent's face was not recognizable, and there are no reconstructions available of her. It is believed that Jane Doe had died the same year that she was found. Her unidentified wiki page states that the PMI was weeks to months.

Jane Doe was either 14-18 years old (according to the LA County Medical Examiner) or 12-18 years old (most other sources); her age group on NamUs is Adolescent. While most sources state that she was estimated to be 5'5-5'8, the LA County ME specifies that she was 5'6; however, this is possibly a result of the ME website's formatting not allowing for age ranges to be entered, only single ages. Jane Doe's weight in life could not be estimated, though her mummified remains weighed 59 lbs. While NamUs simply lists Jane Doe as white, all other sources state that she was white and/or Hispanic. She had reddish brown hair. Due to the state of the remains, her eye color could not be determined.

Jane Doe was wearing pants, a belt, and a long-sleeved polka dot shirt of an unknown brand and size. She was also wearing flip flops, one of which had "KAY" written on the side. From my own observation of the photo of the sandal that's available on NamUs and Doe Network, it seems that it had a bit of a platform (<= 1in) and was primarily black, with one yellow and one red/pink stripe running horizontally on the sides. The strap of the sandal is brown and seems to be of a different material than the rest of the flip flop.

A comb, hairbrush, box of Relay tampons, and Marlboro cigarette box were found near the body. Users on WebSleuths have copied and pasted the information from her NamUs page over time; this was first done on October 6, 2011, then again on September 1, 2019. At both points in time, Jane Doe's NamUs page stated that an empty condom wrapper and a condom were nearby, as was a "hair beret" (possibly supposed to be "hair barrette"); the boxes of tampons and cigarettes were not noted. By June 24, 2021, the NamUs page no longer mentioned the condom, but did mention the tampon box.

Jane Doe's dentals and fingerprints are available for comparison, while her DNA is not. She has five MP exclusions on NamUs: she is not Rose Cole, Sherry Roach, Kimberly Kahler, Jackie Boyer, or Kristy Booth.

Anyone with information regarding Jane Doe is urged to contact Betsy Magdaleno of the LA County Medical Examiner's Office at (323) 343-0512. The agency case number is 1980-11186.
