Delaware officials look to Trenton in attempt to solve 1967 cold
case
April 10, 2013
Authorities may be closer than ever to finally closing this cold
case thanks to DNA technology — and an unusual clue that leads
directly to the Trenton area.
Brown, who reopened the case two and a half years ago, and his
office are seeking help from the greater Trenton area, hoping
someone can give them a more direct link between the deceased
woman
and the laundry that can lead to a name for her. They’re
focusing much of their attention on Trenton’s senior citizen
population: if she were alive, Jane Doe would be in her mid-60s
at least.
------
In late 2011, Brown’s search for additional evidence was
rewarded, when the box was taken out of an evidence room and he
found it had a vial of the woman’s blood inside it.
“Well, I was extremely excited because to me this represented
the possibility of developing a DNA profile,” he said.
Though the blood had dried, Brown was able to take cells from it
and found success in recovering DNA. By matching the information
with genealogy websites, some of which were complete with
genetic
profiles put up by people seeking lost relatives, the medical
examiner was able to contact relatives in Virginia and North
Carolina on the mother’s side of Jane Doe’s family.
“They don’t know how they’re related, but they’re related
biologically,” Brown said.
So far, the family members have been no help in securing an ID.

HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_X_(decedent)
Miss X is an unidentified deceased woman whose body was found
March 18, 1967, near the towns of Bear, Wilmington, and Glasgow,
Delaware. Originally, investigators thought she died during (or
as the result of) an illegal abortion. A more detailed
examination, however, had determined that she and her unborn
child died of septicemia.
Miss X's body was found on the side of Porter Road on March 18,
1967.[2] The only item of clothing she wore was a pair of blue
bikini-like underwear. The manufacturer's label had been
removed. A red ribbon tied her hair back from her face.[2] The
victim's legs were encased in a whitish-colored canvas laundry
bag, which had "Bag O - Storage. American Laundry. Dry Cleaning.
EX4 5277." printed on it. It's not clear if the victim was
associated with such an establishment.[1][3]
It is believed Miss X died in a different location to where her
body was found.[2]
The victim was three months pregnant at the time of her
death.[3] Originally, investigators thought she'd died from an
illegal abortion; a substance resembling an abortion chemical
was found in her vaginal cavity.[4] However, the true cause of
death was an untreated infection of unknown origin.
Miss X was five feet two inches (157 cm) tall, and weighed
roughly 110 to 115 pounds (50 to 52 kilograms). She had a large
bra size, estimated at 34DD.[3] She had dark curly hair and
brown eyes, leading some to speculate she was of European
origin, perhaps from Greece or Italy.[1] Some have also said she
appeared to be of "Jewish descent".[2] The young woman had no
identifying marks on her body except for a vaccination scar on
the top of her left upper leg. Her blood type was "O." [5] Her
ears were pierced but it did not appear she'd worn earrings
recently.[2] She'd cared for her teeth very well; there was some
evidence of tooth repair and she likely saw a dentist
approximately six months before her death. Her age was
originally estimated between eighteen and twenty-one years old,
but the age range has been widened to sixteen to twenty-five
years.[2][6]
Detectives have focused primarily on identifying Miss X instead
of finding the individuals who disposed of her body or may have
been involved in her death. Because of the significant amount of
time that has passed, investigators say the suspects would
either be "dead or elderly".[1]
The laundry bag found at the scene was traced to a company known
as American Laundry, which operated in Trenton, New
Jersey.[2][3] When asked about the victim, members of the
owner's family said that they remembered a young woman, matching
Miss X's description, who either lived nearby or was a
customer.[1] The potential lead went nowhere.
An anonymous caller told police he brought a woman's body from
the state of Washington to Delaware, but little information
about this tip has been published.[3] This lead is somewhat
questionable, as Miss X was deceased for less than twenty-four
hours and it would have taken a considerable amount of time to
transport the body from such a distance.[3]
The case was re-examined in 2011, when a vial of the victim's
blood and her hair ribbon were found in an evidence container.
The DNA extracted from the blood linked the victim maternally to
individuals in Virginia and North Carolina. The persons who were
contacted told investigators they did not know who Miss X
is.[3][1]
Early in the investigation, a sketch of Miss X was released to
the public. In 2013, the National Center for Missing & Exploited
Children reconstructed her face with a much more precise and
detailed method

Jane Doe 1967
HTML https://i.imgur.com/acWHXyW.jpg
On March 18, 1967, this unidentified, Caucasian female's body
was found off the shoulder of Porter Road, a rural area in Bear,
New Castle County, Delaware. This location is just a few miles
away from Interstate 95 and US Highway 40. She was approximately
16-25 years old, with long, curly, dark brown hair, and brown
eyes. She was petite in stature; height 5'2"; weight 110 lbs.
With reasonable certainty, her bra size is estimated to be 34DD.
Her ears were pierced, but it did not appear she had worn
earrings in quite a while. She had a vaccination scar on the
front of her left thigh; no other scars or distinguishing marks
were observed. Her teeth contained several restorations, and
were in very good repair, suggesting that she had seen a dentist
within a year prior to her death. Recent ancestry testing
suggests she may be of European, Italian, Greek, or Jewish
descent. Her legs were stuffed inside a large cloth commercial
laundry bag, which was determined to be from a laundry and dry
cleaning company, located in Trenton, New Jersey. She was found
wearing only a pair of blue bikini panties, and a red ribbon,
which tied her hair back. She was transported in a vehicle from
an unknown location, quite possibly from another state, and
tragically dumped along the side of the road. It is estimated
that she died March 17 – 18, 1967, within 24 hours of being
found. The above image, suggestive of what she may have looked
like in life, is a reconstruction prepared by a NCMEC Forensic
Artist, based upon morgue and crime scene images.
