Image released of mystery woman who died in Columbus in 1999
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Attorney General Mike DeWine and Franklin
County Coroner Anahi M. Ortiz, M.D. have released a new artist's
depiction of an unidentified woman who died in Franklin County
in 1999.
A forensic artist with the Ohio Attorney General's Bureau of
Criminal Investigation (BCI) created the likeness of "Jane Doe"
at the request of authorities with the Franklin County Coroner's
Office.
The image, which is based on a photograph taken after the
woman's death, was designed in an effort to generate tips about
her identity. The Jane Doe was found in front of the Kahiki
restaurant on East Broad Street on November 28, 1999, and she
died at an area hospital the same day.
It is believed she died of natural causes.
"This woman's identity has remained a mystery for nearly two
decades, but we hope this image will result in some new leads,"
said Attorney General DeWine. "Someone had to have known her
before she died, and perhaps this picture created by our
forensic artist will spark someone's recollection of a friend or
family member who hasn't been seen for several years."
“Through collaboration with experts from the Ohio Attorney
General’s Office, this photo has been released in an attempt to
provide a name to a woman who has remained unidentified for
close to 20 years,” said Franklin County Coroner Dr. Anahi
Ortiz. “My hope is that by releasing this photo, we can provide
closure to the family and friends of this woman. As coroner, I
take seriously our duty to serve the community of Franklin
County and speak for those who cannot.”
Ohio BCI's Criminal Intelligence Unit also released a public
bulletin about the case.
The woman was 5'7" tall and weighed 140 pounds. She had
reddish-brown hair, blue eyes, pierced ears, and small scars on
her nose and left cheek. She was wearing a straw hat, blue coat,
overalls, blue socks, sunglasses and gray metal earrings.
Anyone with information on this woman's identity should contact
the Franklin County Coroner's Office at 614-525-5290 or the Ohio
Bureau of Criminal Investigation at 740-845-2406.

unidentified remains submitted through similar programs

interested in learning more about the services that BCI's

Two women who were found dead in Franklin County in the late
1990s but whose names remained a mystery have finally been
identified.
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Franklin
County coroner’s office were able to identify the women,
Attorney General Dave Yost announced Tuesday.
The body of Turina Jefferies, 32, of Philadelphia, was found on
May 17, 1998, next to a building in the 2000 block of Hardy
Parkway Street on Columbus’ West Side, Yost said. Jefferies died
of acute **** exposure, and the coroner’s office ruled her death
an accident.
The body of 52-year-old Karen Kaye Frank was found on Nov. 11,
1999, outside a restaurant in the 3500 block of East Broad
Street in the Eastmoor neighborhood. Frank died of natural
causes, the coroner’s office determined.
Frank was born in California and traveled throughout the
country. She had moved to Ohio shortly before her death and had
a state driver’s license.
Both women were identified after their demographic information
was submitted to a national database called NamUs. Their
identities were confirmed through fingerprints and DNA evidence.
The families of both women have been notified.
