Circumstances of Discovery
A truck driver pausing at an Interstate 80 turnout, known as
Bitter Creek, spotted the victim's nude body lying face down in
the snow. The body appeared as if it had been dropped out of a
truck and came to rest at the bottom of a slope.
Investigators theorize the victim was probably killed elsewhere
and dumped near the westbound side of the highway between
October 1991 and February 1992.
The cause of death was listed as an ice pick or similar object
inserted in the victim's left nostril, penetrating her sphenoid
bone. Examiners also found signs of strangulation, beating
trauma to the face and jaw, as well as anal and vaginal sexual
assault.
The sophistication of the killing points to the possible
involvement of a serial offender. Detectives have determined the
killer's blood is type O.
The victim, known as "Bitter Creek Betty" is buried in Rest
Haven Memorial Gardens.
DNA evidence obtained from the victim matches DNA evidence from
390UFWY.

lane of I-80, 40 miles east of Rock Springs, Wyoming. The victim
was found totally nude. It is estimated the victim died in early
February 1992. The victim has a rose tattoo on her right breast.

Artist's impression of what Bitter Creek Betty looked like
during life
In Sweetwater County, Wyoming, the unclothed body of a white
female, also known as "Rose Doe" with Hispanic or Native
American traits was found on March 1, 1992. The body was
disposed of 1 month prior to discovery but due to cold weather,
the body was well preserved. She was between twenty-four to
thirty-two, ranging between five feet six and five feet eight
inches tall. Because of the amount of time the remains were
outside, it took twenty-four hours for examination to take
place. She had a scar from a Caesarean section on her abdomen as
well as a rose tattoo under one of her breasts. She had died
from being stabbed through one of the nostrils and was also
strangled and beaten, likely at another location. She had been
sexually assaulted both anally and vaginally. At the scene, a
golden-appearing necklace and ring, sweatpants and pink
underwear were found. After images of the tattoo were published
throughout the United States, a man came forward claiming that
he had performed the tattoo on the woman. Further interviews
with the man uncovered that she was a Hispanic woman, lacking an
accent, and was likely a drifter who hitchhiked frequently
around the country. Multiple missing people have been ruled out
as possible identities of Bitter Creek Betty. Apart from this
victim, two other people remain unidentified in the area. DNA
from the scene also matched to another, indicating she was
murdered by a serial killer.
