Jane Doe remains mystery 9 years after remains found in La
Vergne
by: Larry Flowers
Posted: Sep 1, 2016 / 09:31 PM CDT / Updated: Sep 1, 2016 /

LA VERGNE, Tenn. (WKRN) – Nine years have passed since a woman’s
remains were found in a remote field, and detectives still have
few answers.
Now known as Jane Doe, who was this woman? And who murdered her?
Around midnight on Nov. 14, 2007, police made the grim discovery
on Hollandale Road in La Vergne.
“The majority of the remains were found through this wood line
here through the trail,” said La Vergne police Det. Sgt. Bob
Hayes as he showed News 2 the area.
He said he remembers that night well, and it’s on his mind every
single day.
“I can recite it like the back of my hand because I spent so
much time on it,” Hayes told News 2.
The detective was training a new recruit and searching for a
different missing woman at the time of the discovery.
“We recovered somewhere between 98 to 99 percent of the victim’s
skeletal remains,” Hayes said, noting animals had scattered what
was left.
The description of the victim is vague: a black female believed
to be in her mid to late 30s.
Detectives are hoping a limited Avon Cosmetics jewelry line will
be the key in identifying her.
“My hope would be that’s something that a family member, a
friend, or loved one would have given my victim and kind of help
narrow down and maybe that would be the identifier, ‘Hay, that
could be so and so.’”
A facial reconstructionist at University of Tennessee-Knoxville
created a clay facial reconstruction of the woman, and Louisiana
State University did a computer enhanced photo of what she may
have looked like.
But for now, she remains Jane Doe.
“Without identifying, I can’t work any kind of angle as far as
what might of happened to her and who might have done it,” said
Sgt. Hayes.
There’s also no way to know what was going through her mind as
it happened.
“How horrific it might have been for her and what she might have
gone through, what she was thinking, wondering if she was
yelling for help and nobody hear her?”
Sgt. Hayes told News 2 it appears Jane Doe may have died from
blunt force trauma. She did have other injuries, but he’s not
going to reveal that part of the investigation for fear of
jeopardizing the case.
“Next year it will be a decade, and that’s way too long. Way too
long for her not to not have justice, way too long for the
family, friends, and loved ones to not to know where she is and
way too long for person who did this not to have to answer for
what they did,” he said.
Cold case detectives tell News 2 the unidentified woman has been
entered into nationwide data bases, including that of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation.

La Vergne police plead for info in oldest unsolved case
LA VERGNE, TN (WSMV) - Thursday marks 12 years since La Vergne
Police Sgt. Bob Hayes found the bones of a woman in the woods.
Originally, he was out looking for a car belonging to another
missing woman.
"It's a shock. It's something that stays with you," Hayes said.
He continues to stay on the case. Police don't know who the
woman is, but said someone killed her.
"We want to get her identified so we can help bring closure to
this family," Hayes said.
Investigators have gone through more than 100 tips over the
years, but nothing has panned out. That's why they're reaching
out to the community.
News4 spoke with Dianna Andrews who lives near Hollandale Road
where the remains were found.
She learned about the case on Thursday.
"That's scary that that's in your backyard. I mean that really
makes you wonder who your neighbors are," Andrews said.
An Avon bracelet with pictures of cats may be key. The company
made it for only a couple of years and then discontinued it.
"This is exactly what the bracelet looks like that was found
near the remains," Hayes said.
By keeping the woman's story out there, police might get one
step closer to cracking the case.
"The more people talk about it, the more people see it, the
better our chances are of getting her identified are," Hayes
said.
Hayes said he's not giving up on the case.
The woman was around 30 to 45 years old and was about 5'5" to
5'6."
If you have any information that could help, contact Sgt. Hayes
at (615) 287-8626 or bhayes@lavergnetn.gov.
You can also reach out to FBI ViCAP at (800) 634-4097 or
vicap@fbi.gov.
