CHELSEA, Mass. - Nearly 20 years ago, Chelsea police made a
disturbing discovery in the back of a parking lot at the Chelsea
Soldier’s Home — the mutilated, headless body of a young woman.
Now known as Chelsea Jane Doe, her killer has been caught, but
she has never been identified.
Child advocates suspect she may have been a former foster kid
and child sex trafficking victim.
While Chelsea Jane Doe may have fallen through the cracks in
life, Boston 25’s Bob Ward spoke with police who are now trying
to give her her name back in death.
On Nov. 13, 2000, Chelsea Police Chief Kyes was called to the
Soldiers’ Home. Beneath a blanket, police found the young
woman’s body. The killer had dismembered her body, cutting off
her hands, feet and head.
“In 31 years of my career, I've never seen anything like that,”
said Kyes.
It would be four years before her missing head, hands and feet
would be found — buried at Nahant Beach inside plastic
containers.
Police work led detectives to Eugene McCollom, who told
investigators Jane Doe was a prostitute he had picked up in
Boston’s Theater District and brought back to his tiny room at
the Lynn YMCA.
He told police he killed her after a dispute over money.
“He was claiming self defense. He was claiming the victim in
this case got a hold of a knife that he had in the room and
tried to attack him,” said Kyes. “He gave some account that he's
living in a small room. He had to dispose of the body so in his
own wisdom decided the only way (he) could do that was to take
her out in pieces.”
McCollom was convicted for killing and beheading a Boston man —
as well as for the murder of Chelsea Jane Doe.
He has also been a possible suspect in other murders in the
area.
McCollom is now in prison, but before he was locked up, he gave
detectives information that could help identify his victim.
According to McCollom, she said her name was Lisa and she was
from Philadelphia.
“There was some outreach to the Greater Philadelphia area, but
again, that's what she said,” said Kyes. “Whether or not she
could have been from Washington state, California — God only
knows.”
At the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children,
Robert Lowery says there could be a simple reason why no one has
identified Chelsea Jane Doe.
Lowery, a former St. Louis police homicide commander, said he
believes she may have been in foster care.
“The fact is no one seems to be looking for this child even
though we have some ideas of her origins, where she's from —
possibly out of Philadelphia, found in Boston,” said Lowery.
“She was a child sex trafficking victim.”
Earlier this year, Kristi Andrews, a forensic artist at the
center, created a reconstruction of what Jane Doe’s face looked
like in life in an effort to finally identify her.
“We don't want this individual to sit there with a number,” said
Andrews. “We don't want them to be a number. We want them to be
a name.”

the system
Chief Kyes said he hopes all this work will soon reveal her name
— a secret that’s haunted him for years.
“I look at that face,” said Kyes. “That's somebody's daughter
and that is beyond heartbreaking.”

Lisa
"Lisa" was the possible name of a young woman murdered in
Massachusetts in 2000. She may have been native to Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. A man was convicted of her murder but she remains
unidentified.
The victim, who was known to be a prostitute, was picked up by a
john in Boston, Massachusetts, later identified as Eugene
McCollum. She stated her name was "Lisa" and was native to
"Philly." He then drove the victim to his room at the YMCA in
Lynn, where the pair quarreled over payment, resulting in his
decision to strangle her. He later wrapped her headless body in
a carpet and left the scene.
Her head and hands were later recovered in a container in
Nahantt, Massachusetts in 2004.
She appeared to be light-skinned, of predominately Black
ancestry with the possibility of East Indian, Cape Verdean or
Asian descent.
She had dental fillings.
She had a slight overbite.
She had notably good muscle-tone with a petite build.
Her toenails were painted purple.
Her shoe size is estimated to be 8.5
Her hair short was dark in color with reddish tint and may have
been dyed.
She wore a wig.
