Jane Doe 1971
On December 6, 1971 an unidentified female was found in Galloway
Township, New Jersey near the Garden State Parkway. Her body was
found in a wooded area off Jimmie Leeds Road. The female had
been deceased for several months prior to being found. The
female is estimated to be 12-18 years old but likely on the
younger side closer to age of 12-14. She was petite at about
5’02” tall and around 115 pounds. Her hair was possibly auburn
and shoulder length. She was found wearing a blue polo shirt,
bell bottom slacks with multiple colored vertical stripes, and
brown leather sandals. She also wore a wide leather band
bracelet with small brass eyelets all around the band. Attached
to the bracelet through some of the eyelets was a small watch.
The watch did not appear to have been originally attached to the
leather band but secured separately. Inside the female’s pants
was a key to a local motel along the Garden State Parkway. The
images above is an enhanced photograph of the bracelet the
female was wearing along with a facial reconstruction completed
by a NCMEC Forensic Artist and another one completed by a NJSP
Forensic Artist. Both reconstructions depict what the female may
have looked like in life.

December 6, 1971-Galloway Township, Atlantic County, New Jersey
Updated about 4 months ago · Taken in Galloway, New Jersey
She was only a child. 12-18 years old, but likely on the younger
side closer to 12-14. She had been deceased for several months
prior to the discovery of her body. She had to have parents. She
had to have somebody in this world who missed her and looked for
her. So why does a child this young remain in a grave marked
unknown? Why does she remain unclaimed after all these years.
Here is what we know about her.
GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP - After nearly 38 years, retired police
investigator Edward Hepburn is still haunted by the sight of
teenage girl's decomposed body and the lingering questions about
who she was and how she died.
"I (contacted) every single newspaper I could find," Hepburn
said Wednesday. "We got hundreds of tips and eliminated a lot of
them, but never came up with a suspect or identified her. ... I
never would have thought there were that many young girls
missing in the country in 1971, not in my wildest dreams."
Hepburn handled the investigation into remains found Dec. 6,
1971, by a trio of hunters in a wooded area off the Garden State
Parkway and Jimmie Leeds Road in Galloway Township. Hepburn was
a detective lieutenant when he left the Galloway Police
Department for the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office seven
years later.
The 76-year-old retiree and three current Galloway officers met
Wednesday with reporters in an effort to revive the case upon
getting new, more accurate estimations of what the girl might
have looked like.
"Because of the length of time the case has been dormant and
(the fact that) the unidentified victim could be from anywhere,
we decided the best thing to do would be to hold a press
conference," Chief Patrick Moran said.
