Jane Doe's body in the mine shaft.

The Dark History of the Mojave Desert: Nipton Jane Doe
Ashley Nicole
Apr 15, 2019
On May 30, 1976, hikers discovered an 18 to 30-year-old woman in
a Mojave mineshaft. She had been dumped just outside the town of
Nipton. She was found not far from the Nevada border at I-15 and
Cima Road.
Nipton Jane Doe was found wearing a two-piece Carol Brent
bathing suit in navy blue and white. Internet sleuths have
determined that Carol Brent bathing suits were commonly
available at Montgomery Ward stores. No pools of water were
nearby to prompt authorities to believe she’d been swimming near
the area.
Jane Doe died as the result of a gunshot to the back. The
discovery of her body was mere days after her death, and
investigators do not believe the victim was shot at the scene.
She was likely transported there and dropped off.
Nipton Jane Doe was approximately 5 ft. 4 inches tall and
weighed about 155 pounds. She had red-brown hair that hit her
shoulders (though all depictions of her I’ve found, including
postmortem photos, show her having shorter hair). She also had
two overlapping front teeth on top.
Some people believe Nipton Jane Doe may have been a guest at one
of the nearby hotels with swimming pools. In the 1970s, these
would have included Whiskey Pete’s and Gold Strike. Others have
speculated serial killer William Bradford may have been
involved. Unfortunately, so little information is available
about Nipton Jane Doe that most ideas are based on pure
speculation.
If you know anything about the Nipton Jane Doe, please call the
San Bernardino County Sheriff coroner at (909) 387–2978.
