Cold Case: Investigators still trying to identify "Jane Doe"
1991 Cold Case: Investigators still trying to identify "Jane
Doe"
February 13, 2014 at 4:32 AM CST - Updated July 9 at 7:17 PM
VINTON, LA (KPLC) - Who is she, and how did her body end up on
the side of the road? Those are two questions Calcasieu Parish
Sheriff's investigators have been trying to answer for more than
22 years.
"When you have no idea who the person is... That alone by itself
presents challenges that you have to overcome," said Sheriff
Tony Mancuso.
What they do know is that she was shot to death. A passerby
found the woman's body off Gray Road in Vinton just three days
before Christmas 1991.
Based on the skeletal remains the Coroner believes the victim's
body had been there for two to three weeks before being
discovered. With little to go and no ID on their victim, the
investigation was off to a very slow start.
Working with the LSU FACES Lab, they've come up with facial
reconstructions of what their "Jane Doe" could look like. DNA
also tells them she was likely Native American. That is
supported by the pieces of jewelry found on her body: an earring
with two hearts and ring that resembles a bird. According to
investigators, both pieces have Southwestern origin.
"The jewelry is an important key. Somebody gave that to her... A
boyfriend, a mom... A relative. Somebody gave that to her," said
Mancuso.
Over the years, Mancuso said tips have come in, but never panned
out. For now the evidence and the jewelry remain sealed in a
file - as the mystery of what happened to "Jane Doe" off Gray
Road remains unsolved.
"The only way this case is going to be solved is if somebody
comes forward and helps us... identify this person first of all
and at least lead us in the right direction," said Mancuso.
The victim is believed to be 22 to 29 years old, 5'2 to 5'6
inches tall. All of the information has been entered into a
special FBI database for victims of violent crimes.
Anyone who has information that could help the case is urged to
call the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's office at 491-3700.
