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.
