The victim was located approximately 30 feet off rural highway
64D. Her body was wrapped in what appeared to be landscaping
plastic and tied with twine. The brush around the body had been
cut with a sharp object and laid over the body. The brush had
all turned brown and dried out.
The body may have been placed along U.S. 64D, 1 1/2 miles south
of Interstate 40 on October 5, 1994. A witness reported seeing
an object wrapped in black plastic being dragged into the woods
near where the body was found. The witness who reported seeing
the man dragging the object wrapped in plastic said the man had
been driving a blue 1990s model Chevrolet Blazer with an
Arkansas tag. He was of medium height, had a slender build and
had brown hair and a mustache.

Unidentified murder victim will be exhumed
Courtney Coble, Staff Writer
Jan 28, 2010
The body of an unidentified woman found dead in Sequoyah County
15 years ago is to be exhumed.
An order to exhume Dora Doe’s body was signed Jan. 13 by A.J.
Henshaw, Sequoyah County associate district judge. Her remains
will be collected for more DNA testing in hopes of identifing
her, or her killer.
Because the woman was never identified and because of the
location of her body, she was referred to as Dora Doe. She was
eventually buried at Roland Cemetery on Mayfield Road.
The body was found two miles south of Dora on the intersection
of Interstate 40 and U.S. Highway 64D on Oct. 23, 1994. The
woman’s head was found 15 feet away and faced her body, which
was swathed in landscaping material with twine wrapped around
it. A hole about eight inches by five inches was found in her
chest, and her left lung and heart were missing.
Witnesses told investigators that between 4 and 4:30 p.m. Oct.
5, 1994 they saw a white male, about 6 feet tall with dark brown
hair and a moustache, dragging a black bag near the area where
her body was found.
Authorities released a composite sketch of the man and created a
reconstruction of Dora Doe’s face. Physical characteristics of
Dora Doe were also released in 1994. Investigators believed she
was 5 feet, 3 inches tall with a small build and short dark
graying hair. Medical examiners determined the woman was close
to age 50. They determined she was of mixed race, Caucasian and
possibly Oriental or American Indian. The case was never solved.
With new technology and a new cold case unit, investigators with
the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) are hoping to
extract DNA that could possibly reveal who Dora Doe is and
discover what may have happened to her.
According to the petition of exhumation, OSBI agents are trying
to obtain a known DNA sample from Dora Doe’s body, then compare
that known sample to a piece of evidence found in a brutal 1995
murder of a woman in Fort Smith, Ark.
According to the petition, in July 1995 Ruth Henderson was found
murdered in her home just outside of Fort Smith. OSBI agents
discovered a small piece of tissue lodged in Henderson’s left
ear canal. Laboratory analysis at the Arkansas State Police
laboratory revealed the tissue was lung tissue that did not
belong to Henderson.
On Jan. 4 an attempt was made to extract a DNA profile from Dora
Doe’s known hair samples, but the attempt was not successful.
Because of the new technology available for DNA testing, the
OSBI will exhume Dora Doe’s body and try to successfully extract
DNA from her remains.
Sequoyah County Sheriff Ron Lockhart said although there has
been an order issued to exhume Dora Doe, a date has not been set
to begin digging.
Cold Case Unit
The OSBI recently received a grant from the National Institute
of Justice for about $500,000 to fund a new cold case unit.
Lockhart said he recently met with OSBI agents who briefed him
on nine or 10 unsolved cases or cold cases in Sequoyah County.
Now the sheriff’s office has plans to refresh its cold case
files.
“We will be working with the OSBI on these cold case files. Some
of the unsolved homicides are 30 years old. The OSBI is trying
to obtain new DNA by the new technology that is available,”
Lockhart said. “We will be releasing more information about a
few cold case files in the county as soon as we get more
information about them.”

Authorities Hope To ID Sequoyah Co. Body Found Without A Heart
Posted: Feb 01, 2010 11:50 AM EST

NewsOn6.com
SALLISAW, OK -- The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is
revisiting a 1994 homicide case in Sequoyah County.
Last month, a Sequoyah Co. judge granted an exhumation request
for the body of an unidentified woman found along I-40 near
Dora.
The woman's body had been wrapped in landscaping mesh and tied
with a rope. Her head was found 15 feet away. According to court
documents, the body's chest had a hole measuring about 8 inches
by 5 inches and the victim's left lung and heart were missing.
The documents say the OSBI requested the exhumation in order to
get a new DNA sample from her remains. A DNA test of evidence in
the case in January was unsuccessful. The OSBI says new DNA
technology will hopefully help them identify the woman.
The petition also states that in July 1995 a woman was found
murdered in Fort Smith, Arkansas and the OSBI and Arkansas
authorities are trying to determine if the two cases are
related.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation has declined to
discuss the case at this time.
