A passerby discovered the victim's remains about 60 feet of
Petra Road, near Highway 78, not far from I-90/94. It was
determined that she died from blunt force trauma to the head. At
the time, there were no missing persons reports in southern
Wisconsin matching the victim. Investigators believed she may
have been dumped at the location.
She was buried in Wyocena on September 1, 1987 as a Jane Doe. On
April 21, 2014, the Columbia County Sheriff's Office, with the
assistance of the FBI, reopened the case and her body was
exhumed in hopes of collecting DNA, which was successfully
obtained.
Investigators believe she and her killer may not have been
native to the area where she was found.
Tips may be submitted to Crime Stoppers via email or text by
visiting Crime Stoppers, or by texting the word “CRIMES”
(274637) with the keyword “TIPCOSO.”
