Glades County cold case body studied for ID
Medical examiner in Fort Myers will try to identify exhumed body
of homicide victim found more than 30 years ago.
SKETCH AT LINK/I Can't get it in here
11:11 PM, May. 25, 2012
The remains of a woman found in a ditch in 1981 were exhumed
Friday in hopes that the Fort Myers medical examiner’s office
can help identify her.
Jane Doe, estimated to be in her late teens to early 20s, was
found face-down in a roadside ditch in Moore Haven, Glades
County, on March 9, 1981. She had suffered blunt-force trauma to
her head and her death was ruled a homicide. Due to the limits
of the era’s technology, she was not identified and the case
went cold. The Glades County Sheriff’s Office reopened the case
last year to bring the woman justice.
Jane Doe was approximately 5 feet, 4½ inches tall and weighed
125 pounds. She had auburn hair and hazel eyes, as well as a “N”
tattooed on the top of her right thumb. The only other details
known are that she was wearing copper-colored nail polish on her
toes when she died, and she was a nail biter. She may have been
at Uncle Joe’s Fish Camp or the Trucadero Bar in Clewiston
around the time of her death, according to the Doe Network
website, which serves as a missing-persons database.
Capt. Daryl Lewis, commander of the criminal investigations
division for the Glades County Sheriff’s Office, partly
attributes the unsuccessful attempt to identify her body in 1981
to the underdeveloped missing-persons database.
“The main thing is getting her identified, so hopefully the
family can reclaim the body,” he said.
There are several other reasons Jane Doe was not identified in
1981. When she was found, no one came forward with any
information, and the lead investigator on the case is now
deceased. All initial photos of the body were taken with a
rudimentary Polaroid camera, and showed a face badly decomposed
by water exposure. Also, the original police report was no more
than a paragraph long.
Brett Harding, with District 21 Medical Examiner’s Office in
Fort Myers, received the remains Friday morning. Now the femur
will be sent to the University of Texas for DNA extraction, and
her skull will be used for a facial reconstruction.
Lewis declined to comment on any related evidence found in 1981,
for fear of jeopardizing the ongoing investigation.
“We have very little to go on, so we don’t want to release what
we’ve got,” he said.
Jane Doe is one of two Glade County homicide victims awaiting
identification. The other, a male, was found around the same
time as the Jane Doe, who gets priority because she was found
first, Lewis said.
