A hiker discovered the victim's partially clad body in a
makeshift campsite at the Rainbow Falls Campground in the Pike
San Isabel National Forest, between Woodland Park and Deckers
off Highway 67. Investigators believe she may have been dumped
at the location.
She was found within days of a nearby convention of the Vietnam
Vets Motorcycle Club that met June 12-13, at the Horse Creek
campground south of Deckers. Investigators have not been able to
determine if the victim had any association to that group.
At the time of the initial investigation in 1993, investigators
believed the victim to be between 15-19 years old. Since the
discovery of her body, several forensic examinations have been
conducted and additionally, a series of anthropological
reconstructions of the victim's skull have been conducted in an
effort to determine her appearance, age, and identity. After the
most recent forensic examination of her skull, investigators now
believe the victim to be 13 to 20 years old.
No trace of illegal drugs were found in her body, nor evidence
of sexual assault by intercourse, however they have not ruled
out the possibility of non-intercourse sexual assault/contact.
Investigators found characteristics that indicated she might
have been very well cared for prior to her death. She was
healthy with no sign of disease. A national comparison of her
fingerprints have not aided in identification. She may be a
runaway from Louisiana.
In 2012, her remains were exhumed in order to obtain further DNA
analysis. She is buried at the Cedar Hill Cemetery in Castle
Rock, Colorado.

Case History
The partially clad and decomposing body of a young girl was
discovered in southwest Douglas County in the Pike San Isabel
National Forest, between Woodland Park and Deckers off Highway
67, in a makeshift campsite by a hiker at the Rainbow Falls
Campground. Investigators believe the victim may have been
dumped in the spot where her body was found. The victim's body
was found within days of a nearby convention of the Vietnam Vets
Motorcycle Club that met June 12 -13, at the Horse Creek
campground south of Deckers. Investigators said they have not
been able to determine if the victim had any association to that
group.
Investigators believe the victim may have been dumped in the
spot where her body was found. She was found half ****, wearing
only a black short sleeve Harley Davidson t-shirt and some
unique jewelry.
At the time of the initial investigation in 1993, investigators
believed the victim to be between 15-19 years old. Since the
discovery of her body, several forensic examinations have been
conducted and additionally, a series of anthropological
reconstructions of the victim's skull have been conducted in an
effort to determine her appearance, age, and identity. After the
most recent forensic examination of her skull, investigators now
believe the victim to be 13 to 20 years old.
No trace of illegal drugs were found in her body, and
investigators found no evidence of sexual assault by
intercourse, however they have not ruled out the possibility of
non-intercourse sexual assault/contact.
Investigators found characteristics that indicated she might
have been very well cared for prior to her death. For instance,
she was healthy with no sign of disease, she had very healthy
teeth with no fillings, and her wisdom teeth were removed.
A national comparison of her fingerprints have not aided in
identification.

old and weighed approximately 140 pounds.

In 2003 a facial reconstruction of her skull was completed. The
following photographs depict the reconstruction and include
photos of the tee shirt and jewelry she was found wearing.

recognize this person, please call the Douglas County Coroner’s
Office at 303.814.7150.

Update on the Quest by the Douglas County Coroner’s Office to
Identify Jane Doe
Jane Doe is the only individual who died in Douglas County and
remains unidentified, according to available records. The
Douglas County Coroner’s Office is committed to identifying her,
and has undertaken steps to finally reunite her with her family.
Her remains were exhumed from her grave in the Cedar Hill
Cemetery in Castle Rock, Colorado on October 12, 2012. Bone
samples have been sent to the University of North Texas in order
to obtain more complete DNA analysis.
Step 2 involved sending Jane Doe’s skull to Samantha Steinberg,
a phenomenal forensic artist at the Miami-Dade Police
Department. Samantha has developed these forensic drawings of
what Jane Doe looked like in 1993. Do you recognize her?
The Douglas County Coroner’s Office will continue on its quest
to identify Jane Doe – if you recognize this drawing or have any
information that would help identify Jane Doe, please contact
the Douglas County Coroner’s Office at 303-814-7150 or at
coroner@douglas.co.us
Quote:
CASTLE ROCK, Colo. (CBS4) – There’s a new clue that Douglas
County authorities hope will help them identify a woman murdered
20 years ago.
She’s been known as “Jane Doe,” but with a new investigative
tool, authorities are hoping they can put a real name on the
murder victim.
Last October, Douglas County authorities exhumed Jane Doe’s body
hoping to solve the 20-year old mystery.
“It’s not just a body, it’s a person, so we want to find out and
reunite her with her family,” said Lora Thomas, Douglas County
Coroner.
The woman was found dead at a Douglas County campground in 1993,
thought to have been murdered. But she had no identification and
was never identified, buried as an unknown.
The clay depiction of Jane Doe created several years ago
(credit: CBS)
Years ago investigators came up with a clay depiction of what
the young woman might have looked like, but now a Miami-based
forensic artist has produced a new composite drawing of Jane
Doe. It’s much more detailed and much different than the earlier
representation.
The new composite drawing of Jane Doe (credit: Douglas County
Coroner)
“Everybody watches shows like CSI and NCIS because people love
the mystery, they love the solution,” Thomas said. “We have a
mystery but we haven’t been able to solve it. This is all about
solving this mystery.”
To solve the mystery, after the exhumation, they sent the
woman’s skull to the Miami artist. She then plotted key points
to create the composite of the unidentified teenage girl, who
might have been a runaway.
DNA from the body is also being examined as a possible lead.
Ultimately, investigators say their Jane Doe is someone’s
daughter or sister and has a family somewhere wondering what
happened.
“I have a brand new little granddaughter and I’m so enthralled
with her that I just can’t imagine what it would be like if
something happened to her and we didn’t know,” Thomas said.
Thomas says if anyone recognizes the picture to either call the
coroner’s office or the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.
