DORCHESTER JANE DOE: WF, 25-35, found in the chimney of a Dorche
ster, MA building - 14 October 2005

The victim was located in Dorchester, Massachusetts on October
14, 2005, in an apartment building just outside Boston, at 1719
Winter Street. A chimney sweep was hired to clean out the
basement chimney and fix the heating in the apartment building.
In the late 1960s, the chimney was used as an incinerator, but
since then an air conditioning unit was placed at the opening
when he discovered the remains.
Investigators thinks the victim was there since 2002. And that
somebody who had some association with the building -- a
resident, an employee or someone familiar with a resident or
employee -- has some knowledge about whatever happened.
Between January 2002 and January 2005, an access door to the
building basement was typically left unlocked. Whoever buried
the woman knew that, and knew of the chimney as a hiding place.
An Anthropologist conducted an extensive examination and
population profile of the deceased and the results denote strong
Caucasian genetics. However there were several other genetic
identifiers/traits pointing to population mixture, such as her
mouth, and jawline. She may or may not have appeared to be
Caucasian by her skin color, or other visual ethnic features.
She may also have appeared to be Caucasian, and claimed or been
of another ethnic background independently. Therefore, these
facts should not eliminate the possibility of her being from
either the Caucasian/Hispanic, Black or Asian population.
Grooves in her hips suggest childbirth, she possibly could have
had children.

Top Reconstructions of Victim by Greg Mahoney
Unidentified White Female with Admixture
The victim was discovered on October 14, 2005 in Dorchester,
Suffolk County, Massachusetts
Estimated Date of Death: She could have been deceased anywhere
from 3 months to five years before discovery.
Skeletal Remains
Formerly Hot Case # 312
Vital Statistics
Estimated age: 25-35 years old. (+/- 5 years)
Approximate Height and Weight: 5' 2" (+/- 3"); small-medium
build.
Distinguishing Characteristics: Mixed: Caucasian/Hispanic with
possible Black or Asian Admixture Female. Eye color unknown.
Black or Dark Brown hair, past shoulder length. X-rays showed no
broken or healed bones or any other injuries during life. There
were no visible scars or tattoos. She was wearing red plastic
fingernails. She had at least one child.
Dentals: Lost posterior lower teeth, her molars were gone, front
lower teeth present. She had a very unique upper partial dental
plate, which held three teeth, where only two were present.
Based on certain grooves on her teeth, it is believed that this
acrylic plate replaced a metal one that she had worn previously.
A civilian dental expert indicates that the style and
construction of the plate shows it may have been made either in
the Caribbean or in the United States by a dentist from Haiti or
Jamaica. A dental expert said the plate was probably black
market or underground.
Case History
The victim was located in Dorchester, Massachusetts on October
14, 2005, in an apartment building just outside Boston, at 1719
Winter Street. A chimney sweep was hired to clean out the
basement chimney and fix the heating in the apartment building.
In the late 1960s, the chimney was used as an incinerator, but
since then an air conditioning unit was placed at the opening
when he discovered the remains.
Investigators thinks the victim was there since 2002. And that
somebody who had some association with the building -- a
resident, an employee or someone familiar with a resident or
employee -- has some knowledge about whatever happened.
Between January 2002 and January 2005, an access door to the
building basement was typically left unlocked. Whoever buried
the woman knew that, and knew of the chimney as a hiding place.
An Anthropologist conducted an extensive examination and
population profile of the deceased and the results denote strong
Caucasian genetics. However there were several other genetic
identifiers/traits pointing to population mixture, such as her
mouth, and jawline. She may or may not have appeared to be
Caucasian by her skin color, or other visual ethnic features.
She may also have appeared to be Caucasian, and claimed or been
of another ethnic background independently. Therefore, these
facts should not eliminate the possibility of her being from
either the Caucasian/Hispanic, Black or Asian population.
Grooves in her hips suggest childbirth, she possibly could have
had children.

Identity Of Victim Found In A Chimney At A Dorchester Apartment
Complex In 2005 Still A Mystery
HTML https://i.imgur.com/bqnuqNU.jpg
Both reconstructions were created based on the description of
the unidentified woman. The photos should not be the sole
identifying factor.
HTML https://i.imgur.com/m3j4zvD.jpg
The victim was discovered on October 14, 2005 in Dorchester,
Suffolk County, Massachusetts located in New England, USA
Estimated Date of Death: She could have been deceased anywhere
from 3 months to five years before discovery
Victim is believed to be a woman in her twenties or thirties
with a small/medium build
She had long, dark brown hair, possibly even black, that went
past her shoulders
She had plastic nails painted red. It’s unclear if they were
drugstore nails or if she went to a nail salon
Medical examiners believe she bore at least one child prior to
her death
An Anthropologist conducted an extensive examination and
population profile of the deceased and the results denote strong
Caucasian genetics. However there were several other genetic
identifiers/traits pointing to population mixture, such as her
mouth, and jawline. She may or may not have appeared to be
Caucasian by her skin color, or other visual ethnic features.
She may also have appeared to be Caucasian, and claimed or been
of another ethnic background independently. Therefore, these
facts should not eliminate the possibility of her being from
either the Caucasian/Hispanic, Black or Asian population.
At first, chimney sweep Mike Scanlan thought the long spindly
thing was a tree branch as he pulled it free of the debris
behind a piece of particle board at the bottom of a disused
Dorchester apartment complex incinerator.
His flashlight showed the object in its beam. Red plastic
fingernails glinted.
Scanlan found a body buried in the incinerator cavity. There was
not a single broken bone. There were no signs of injury.
Boston Police Sgt. Paul Donovan assumed control of the
investigation at 17-19 Winter St., searching for the path by
which the woman’s skeleton ended up at the complex.
Without available witnesses, and with only what the bones could
tell his team – Donovan faced a difficult prospect.
“Usually the evidence will take you where it takes you,” Donovan
said. “In this case, we’re lacking evidence.”
The dead woman was between 25 and 35 years old. She probably
stood 5-foot-2-inches. She was deemed of white heritage, but
also possessed Hispanic, Asian or black features.
One outstanding identifier: her partial dental plate, either
made in the Caribbean, or elsewhere by a Haitian or Jamaican
dentist.
A dental expert told Donovan the plate was probably black market
or underground. Find the dentist, and Donovan could find her
name, her family, where she lived. Unlicensed plate-makers,
however, mean unlisted dentists.
Donovan looked for witnesses.
“I think she was there since 2002,” Donovan said. “Somebody who
had some association with the building — a resident, an employee
or someone familiar with a resident or employee — has some
knowledge about whatever happened.”
Between January 2002 and January 2005, Donovan said, an access
door to the building basement was typically left unlocked.
Whoever buried the woman knew that, he said, and knew of the
chimney as a hiding place.
Another way to break the case, Donovan surmised, was to find
anyone who knew the woman before she disappeared. He needed a
picture of her in life. He turned to Boston Police forensic
artist Gregory Mahoney.
Mahoney was able to produce a computer reconstruction of the
woman’s features.
Until someone recognizes her picture, Donovan is in charge of a
file full of questions.
“In all my other cases, you try not to let your gut influence
you too much,” he said. Now, for Donovan, gut feeling is
critical to the completion of his investigation.
He’s watching Winter Street, waiting, and reaching out to Boston
once again for anyone who saw anything around that basement.
