Coroner exhumes body to ID woman buried 28 years ago
Officials rely on technological advances to identify Jane Doe
HTML https://i.imgur.com/W8POFxO.jpg
Mortuary workers and members of the Clark County Coroner’s
Office prepare to remove the body of an unidentified woman at
Palm Mortuary on South Eastern Avenue Wednesday, August 18,
2010. Clark County Coroner Mike Murphy holds the body bag at
right. The coroner’s office exhumed the body as part of a
Department of Justice-funded DNA project, which tries to
identify deceased people through modern DNA technology. The
woman, white, 5-foot-4-inches tall and about 55-60 years old,
was found dead of natural causes at the bus terminal in downtown
Las Vegas in 1982.
By Jackie Valley
Wednesday, Aug. 18, 2010 | 11:20 a.m.
Officials from the Clark County Coroner's Office gathered around
a Palm Mortuary gravesite this morning as workers unearthed a
casket buried since 1982.
This wasn't part of some sinister cemetery operation. It was a
sanctioned exhumation with good intentions — identifying the
Jane Doe buried inside a grave at the edge of the cemetery.
Since receiving a $400,000 grant from the U.S. Department of
Justice, the coroner's office has been exhuming bodies in the
hope of placing a real name to the John and Jane Does buried
throughout Clark County by using modern forensic science to
identify them. Today marked the 28th exhumation of the DNA
Project.
Coroner Mike Murphy said he is pleased with the project's
progress, especially after getting positive DNA samples from the
first 10 exhumations. The others are still in the collection
stage.
"So far, the progress is exceeding my expectations," he said.
"You don't know if you're going to get that DNA."
Even so, no one has been identified yet, but that's largely
because it is a months-long process. After lab workers extract
DNA samples from the person's remains, it takes months before
that information is uploaded to a national missing persons
database, Murphy said, which is why he remains optimistic about
identifying those individuals.

Clark County Coroner Mike Murphy holds a photo of an
unidentified woman at Palm Mortuary on South Eastern Avenue
Wednesday, August 18, 2010. The coroner's office exhumed the
body as part of a Department of Justice-funded DNA project,
which tries to identify deceased people through modern DNA
technology. The woman, white, 5-foot-4-inches tall and about
55-60 years old, was found dead of natural causes at the bus
terminal in downtown Las Vegas in 1982.
"There's a lot more to be done," he said. "We won't know our
success for months."
Clark County was the first in the nation to receive this type of
grant from the Department of Justice, but a similar project is
under way in an undisclosed location in the country to compare
the effectiveness of the initiative.
The 18-month grant was set to end in December, but Murphy said
the project might be extended another six months because the
funding was slow to arrive.
The coroner's office selected 52 unidentified people for the
project out of its more than 160 cases based on criteria it
established: burial site location, probability of success upon
removal and the facts of each case. Homicides were given first
priority, Murphy said.
Today's exhumation dated back to July 10, 1982, when an
unidentified woman was found dead in a bus depot on South Main
Street. Authorities determined the woman — probably between 55
to 60 years old — died of natural causes, but no identification
items were found in her purse.
At the time, the 138-pound woman with brown/gray hair and hazel
eyes was wearing blue pants, a white undershirt and a
multi-colored floral print shirt.
Cemetery workers finished unearthing several feet of dirt above
the casket this morning before coroner employees removed the
woman's remains and placed them in a body bag for transport back
to the coroner's office.
The body will remain at the coroner's office for several months
as employees conduct examinations, X-rays and dental analyses,
and obtain DNA samples.
Murphy said he hopes this project can eventually solve
decades-old mysteries and finally answer families' questions
about missing loved ones.
"Somebody speaks for all these people," he said, motioning to
the flowers, flags and decorations dotting the cemetery before
turning back to the unadorned grave of the Jane Doe. "Who speaks
for that p
