The decomposed remains of an Hispanic woman were found on the
beach, scavenged by coyotes, on October 10, 2012, on South Padre
Island, Cameron County, Texas. The victim's body was likely
exposed due to changes with water levels on the beach. The woman
had been dead for one or more weeks before the discovery. The
sand above the body had been "covered with lime," possibly to
speed decomposition or plant growth, likely as a way to prevent
the body from being found or identified.

Reconstruction of the South Padre Island Jane Doe
South Padre Island Jane Doe
The decomposed remains of a Hispanic woman were found on a
beach, scavenged by coyotes, on October 10, 2012, in South Padre
Island, Cameron County, Texas. The victim's body was likely
exposed due to changes with water levels on the beach. The woman
was dead about one to several week(s) before the discovery. The
sand above the body had been "covered with lime," possibly to
speed decomposition or plant growth, likely as a way to prevent
the body from being found or identified. Her height was
estimated to be four feet ten to five feet two inches tall and
her weight at about 95 to 120 pounds. She was middle-aged, at
approximately forty-two to fifty-five at the time of death. One
or more of the female's limbs were not found with the body, as
they were likely carried away by animals. A distinctive feature
about the female was that she had tattoos in place of makeup on
her eyebrows, eyelids and lips. Her ears had also been pierced.
She was clothed, wearing a dark top, multicolored shorts with
star decorations and bikini underwear, along with a sanitary
pad. The woman's death is considered to be due to foul play and
a "suspicious" white-colored "powder" was found on the face
region.[26] Since her discovery, a three-dimensional
reconstruction and a sketch have also been created of the victim

Cameron County Jane Doe
Cameron County Jane Doe was a middle-age woman found murdered in
2012.
HTML https://i.imgur.com/SfRxg1X.jpeg
Case
On October 10, 2012, a man walking on the north end of South
Padre Island near an access area to the local beach noticed some
coyotes feasting on something in the dunes. Once the man reached
the dunes, he stumbled across a partially unearthed makeshift
grave containing the body of a woman. She had been covered in
lime, a substance often used to try and accelerate the
decomposition of a body, though in truth it only slows the
decomposition process. Immediately, the man contacted the
authorities and reported his gruesome discovery.
It was immediately suspected that the unidentified woman had
fallen victim to foul play due to the manner of her burial and
the presence of lime. Since her discovery, the authorities have
not released information on how she was murdered nor any leads
on a possible killer.
Characteristics
Coarse black hair that went from straight to wavy and
measured approximately 17 inches long.
Pierced ears.
Tattooed eyebrows.
Her lips were tattooed red.
Clothing
'Paris Blues' brand darkly colored tank top (Size M).
Shorts with a plaid pattern in blue, green, and white (Size
L/G 10/12). They were labeled as part of a two-piece girls
sleepwear set under the brand 'Komar Kids'.
Red bikini underwear with the presence of a sanitary pad.

South Padre Island Jane Doe
HTML https://i.imgur.com/qfjwVt5.jpeg
On October 10, 2012, a man walking along the beach on South
Padre Island, Texas, spotted some coyotes dining on something in
the sand dunes. It turned out to be a woman’s body.
I never, ever want to be the one to discover something like
that. Ewwww.
The gruesome discovery was located about 5 or 6 miles north of
Beach Access 6. The poor guy who found it did the right thing
and alerted deputies.
The body had only been there for a week or so. She’d been buried
between the sand dunes and the shore, covered in lime. Obviously
somebody was doing his best so she wouldn’t be found. He didn’t
count on the coyotes and the tide.
According to authorities, the woman was likely white Hispanic.
She stood about 5 feet tall and weighed 100 to 120 pounds — a
small lady. She had coarse black hair about 17 inches long. Her
age was between 43 and 55 years old.
Interestingly, the woman had had cosmetic tattooing done on her
eyebrows, eyelids and lips. I hope that will ring some bells
with people whose mom, sister, aunt or daughter is missing. She
also had her ears pierced.
The body was found clothed. She was wearing a “Paris Blues”
brand tank top – likely purple, size M. She had “Komar Kids”
brand shorts with a blue, green and white plaid pattern and pink
stars, size L/G 10/12. Her underwear was a pair of red bikini
panties with a sanitary pad.
I can find no autopsy results, but the police have classified
Jane Doe 10708 as a murder victim.
Authorities released a sketch of the woman (see above). It makes
her look very young and very pretty. Unfortunately, nobody
stepped forward to identify her.
In June 2013, Texas Rangers released a new facial reconstruction
built upon the victim’s skull. Again there has been no positive
outcome. And so, naturally, I just had to do my part and create
my own version of Jane Doe 10708.
I figured, since the woman wasn’t very young, that maybe the
problem is that the previous versions hadn’t added enough years
to her face. Being an old broad myself, I know that crappy
things happen with age — wrinkles, sagging, bags and jowls. You
don’t keep the firm roundness and taut skin of your youth. You
start to develop dark spots and sun damage. Your eyelids get
heavy, and your neck ages too. As I say, crappy things happen.
Now you may argue that she’s not so old since she had a sanitary
pad. To that I respond a lot of women use them for incontinence
issues, and some women don’t reach menopause until their
mid-50’s anyway.
Thus we come to my version of the victim. She’s sporting the
cosmetic tattoos, plus the effects of getting older. I hope,
hope, hope that somebody will now recognize her. She died in
September or October 2012, so it’s not likely she’s been
forgotten already. Maybe her family thinks she’s traveling or
has moved, and haven’t reported her as missing yet.
If anybody has any clue about who this woman is, please contact
the Office of the Cameron County JP (956) 427-8057. The listed
case manager is Elizabeth Miller (956) 389-1956. The case number
is OA12-137.
And if anybody has any clue as to the identity of the killer,
please contact the police.

SAN ANTONIO - The FBI is hoping the public can help them solve
the death of an unidentified woman who was found slain two years
ago.
In October 2012, a woman's body was discovered buried in the
sand on a South Padre Island beach.
The victim was discovered about 5.5 miles North of public Beach
Access 6.
Investigators have run out of leads. In fact, they say they
don't even know their victim's name.
FBI officials and Cameron County Sheriff's detectives are hoping
a three-dimensional bust, created to give investigators and the
public a better idea of what the woman looked before her death,
will help them crack the case.
The face of the victim was essentially brought back from the
dead by Texas Ranger forensic artist Jorge Molina using the
unidentified woman's remains.
"In this case, I created a cast of the skull and then worked on
top of the cast to create the three-dimensional facial
reconstruction," Molina said. "This is something that is a last
resort for investigators to try and use the public as a means to
identify a victim in a homicide investigation."
Using crime scene photographs and details about the remains
provided by forensic anthropologists, Molina is able to recreate
the woman's face.
"A forensic anthropologist gives me a write-up as to the
biological profile of the victim, indicating height, weight
(and) ancestry, and then I use that information to create the
facial reconstruction," Molina said. "This victim in particular
is a Hispanic female between the ages of 42 to 55 and
approximately 4 feet 10 inches (tall) to 5 feet 2 inches."
FBI Special Agent Michelle Lee said Jane Doe's body was
discovered on Oct. 10, 2012, by someone walking on the beach.
Her grave in the sand dunes had been disturbed coyotes.
"Her body was purposely buried by someone who was attempting to
conceal it," Lee said describing the location where the body was
discovered. "There aren't any markers, there aren't businesses
or hotels. It is a very beautiful, picturesque natural area of
the beach that is typically used for recreation and camping and
is also used by bird-watchers."
Lee said the FBI was contacted by Cameron County investigators
when all other leads had been exhausted.
Other than the clothes she was wearing and some unique facial
features, investigators don't have much to work with.
"She was found wearing shorts with a blue plaid pattern and
stars and a purple tank top," Lee said. "A unique feature was
that she did have cosmetic tattoos, on her lips, her eyes and
her eyebrows."
Investigators have distributed images of the facial
reconstruction to Texas media outlets in the past without much
luck. Now they plan to expand their reach by sending the
pictures to media outlets across the country.
"It's possible that loved ones (who) are looking for her are not
aware that she was discovered," Lee said. "There has to be a
father, a mother, a child or children, a sister or brother --
someone out there that loved this woman is probably looking for
her and what we'd like to do is return her remains to them so
that she can have a dignified burial."
Investigators believe Jane Doe's body had been buried in the
sand dunes for six to eight weeks before it was discovered,
putting her time of death around the end of July or early August
2012.
If you have any information or tips you can call them in
anonymously to the San Antonio FBI office or the Cameron County
Sheriff's Office.
