Kentucky Jane Doe 2001

Description
October 9, 2001 a survey crew found the partially skeletonized
remains of a white woman some distance off the shoulder of the
northbound lane of Interstate 65 about 12 miles north of the
Kentucky-Tennessee state line just north of Nashville, TN. It
was determined the woman had died 2-8 weeks prior to discovery.
She was 25-35 years old and was 5’6″ tall. She had long
(12-14 inches), wavy light reddish-brown to reddish-blond hair.
The woman had several missing or severely decayed teeth, the
result of poor dental health. She had a healed fracture of the
upper right arm, near her shoulder. She also had a healed
broken rib. On her left breast was an outline from a rose
tattoo. She may have had prior pregnancies and actually may have
been pregnant at the time of her death. She had a scar on her
face and right wrist. She was wearing a white or tan shirt,
blue cotton shorts, and black sandals. On the ground near the
body two rings were found–one a gold band, similar to a wide
wedding ring.
Subsequent Stable Isotope Analysis (SIA) conducted on the
remains revealed the woman spent significant time during
adolescence in the Great Lakes or New England region of the US.
Further SIA analysis determined that closer to her death she may
have spent time in mid-West or mid-Atlantic regions.
