Long Beach Jane Doe (known locally as Jane Doe 40) is an
unidentified murder victim whose body was found in May 1974. Her
suspected murderer was arrested but she has never been
identified, despite extensive investigation.
Discovery of the body[edit]
The strangled body of a young woman was found on May 28, 1974,
on the jetty of Alamitos Beach in Long Beach, California.[1]
She was estimated to be between 20 and 28 years old and had been
raped.[2] Basic physical examination showed she was about 5 feet
5 inches tall and weighed about 118 pounds. The victim was white
with possible Hispanic ancestry, as she had brown or black hair
and brown eyes.[3] She also had a unique scar on the back of her
left hand, which was shaped like the letter T. She also had an
inch-long scar on the back of her left thigh.
She was wearing a white gold, 14-karat engagement ring with a
small diamond.[4] She was clothed in a pinkish-orange suit with
a faux black fur coat and calf-high suede boots.
The only items the Jane Doe carried were a house key and padlock
key. The padlock key was attached to a broken chain.[5]

An additional reconstruction
No missing persons have been found who match the victim's
description. Investigators have the girl's DNA and
fingerprints.[6][7] A forensic facial reconstruction was created
by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to
assist with identification.[8]
Arrest of Gary Stamp[edit]
Police received a confession from a Texas man who claimed he had
assisted with dumping the victim's body. He led authorities to
another suspect.[9]
On May 20, 2013, a man named Gary Stamp (some sources state
"Stump"), aged 61, was arrested. He confessed to the girl's
murder but was not certain of her name, which may have been
Anna.[10] Stamp was arraigned on June 12, 2013, in Superior
Court.[11]
The victim may have been seen at a bar earlier. Stamp told
police that he had met her at a bar.[12]

Long Beach police arrest man for 1974 murder
By Joe Segura, Staff Writer
POSTED: 06/05/13, 12:01 AM PDT
LONG BEACH - Homicide detectives arrested a 61-year-old man for
the rape and murder of a woman in 1974 -- though they still
don't know the identity of the victim.
After reopening a cold case investigation into the identity of
Jane Doe No. 40, police were led to the suspect, Gary Stamp of
Long Beach, who was arrested in connection with the May 28,
1974, murder, officials announced Wednesday. The woman's body
was found 39 years ago on Alamitos Beach.
Stamp is scheduled for arraignment on June 12 in Long Beach
Superior Court, according to police spokeswoman Cynthia Arrona.
The suspect reportedly confessed to killing the woman, whose
name might be "Anna," after raping and strangling her then
disposing of her body on the beach. Through additional
interviews, detectives believe the suspect met the woman in a
bar or on the street in the downtown area, Arrona said.
Long Beach Homicide Detectives Todd Johnson and Malcolm Evans
were led to a suspect/witness living in Texas who admitted to
helping Stamp dispose of the victim's body, Arrona said
Wednesday. The Los Angeles District Attorney's Office will
ultimately review his involvement and determine his culpability,
Arrona said.
The case originally was a candidate for funding through a
National Institute of Justice "Solving Cold Cases with DNA"
grant, and cold case investigators focused their attention on
the backlog of unsolved homicides awaiting case review, evidence
screening, and potential DNA analysis.
However, cold case investigators were unable to locate any
evidence remaining in the case that could be submitted for DNA
analysis, and it appeared the case was destined to return to the
cold case shelves.
Troubled that the young woman had remained unidentified for
nearly four decades and puzzled that they could not locate a
missing persons report that matched Jane Doe No. 40's physical
description, investigators reviewed the case file once again.
However, since the case no longer met the grant criteria for
further cold case investigation due to the lack of evidence
suitable for DNA testing, investigators turned the case over to
homicide detectives Johnson and Evans, according to the police
spokeswoman.
With the assistance of the National Center for the Missing and
Exploited Children, a rendering of the victim has been made
available and Long Beach Police are hopeful someone can identify
the victim. She is white or Hispanic; late teens to early 20s;
5-foot-2, weighing 135 pounds with long brown hair and brown
eyes. She has a scar on the top of her left hand.
Anyone with information is urged to call 562-570-7244.

LONG BEACH, Calif. --
Long Beach police made an arrest in a 39-year-old cold case, but
they need the public's help identifying the victim.
Police arrested Gary Stamp on May 20 for the May 28, 1974
murder. The 61-year-old confessed to raping, killing and dumping
the body on Alamitos Beach. The body was found near Alamitos

Investigators were unable to locate any evidence in the case
that could be submitted for DNA analysis.
Stamp could not provide any additional information about the

been Anna. Detectives believe Stamp met the victim in a bar or
on the street in the downtown Long Beach area.
Authorities released a computer-generated rendering of Jane Doe
No. 40. She is either white or Hispanic, was in her late teens
to early 20s, 5 feet 2 inches, about 135 pounds, with long brown
hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a two-piece pantsuit with a

gold ring with a small diamond solitaire. Police say she had a
scar on top of her left hand.

Angeles Regional Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS.
Stamp is scheduled to be arraigned on Wednesday in Long Beach
Superior Court.
