Mount Vernon Jane Doe
HTML https://i.imgur.com/0Mmp9co.jpg
Unsolved
On February 14, 1988, a young woman’s naked body was found.
She’d only been dead for about 6 hours, and her face was very
recognizable, but still she was never identified. That’s just so
sad.
The woman had been murdered. Her killer bound her hands and
ankles, asphyxiated her, and inflicted blunt force trauma.
The body had been left in the street at 10 Carleton Avenue,
Mount Vernon, Westchester County in the state of New York. Mount
Vernon is only about 10 miles north of Manhattan.
The area where the victim was found is an industrial area, not
residential. She was laid on the ground with her arms out to the
side and her ankles crossed.
This Jane Doe was white, and between 18 and 30 years old. She
was 5’3″ tall, and she only weighed 105 pounds. Her eyes
were hazel. Her face had freckles. Her hair was long, straight,
and blondish, maybe light brown. She had absolutely no cavities
or fillings. She also had no tattoos or scars.
The victim had fake press-on nails that she’d painted reddish
pink — a detail I doubt anyone would remember after all these
years. Her face had some moles and freckles, and on the right
side of her neck, just above her shoulder, she had a big,
noticeable birthmark.
The victim, I think, had a surprisingly thick neck. Not
freakishly thick, just thicker than I would have expected on
such a slight figure.
The victim had pierced ears, but no jewelry was found on the
body. Nothing was found on the body.
Now this Jane Doe, I must admit, confuses me a bit. Her eyebrows
were in need of plucking. Indeed, she even had stray hairs on
the bridge of her nose. Her armpits were unshaven. Those details
make me think she wasn’t interested in getting herself a
boyfriend. I remember the 80’s well enough to know armpits and
legs were expected to be hair-free — especially when a girl was
dating.
The confusing part is for me that the victim had recently shaved
or waxed her pubic hair. I learned that Brazilian waxing arrived
in New York in 1986, so this was a very recent trend. Now why
would Jane Doe not shave her armpits and not pluck her eyebrows
but remove all her pubic hair?
It is possible she shaved her pubic area for hygienic purposes
rather than erotic ones. She might have had a case of pubic lice
at one time, or wanted to avoid one.
It is also possible that her killer shaved the victim himself.
There is no reason to think the poor woman wasn’t held for a
period of time before she was killed. She’d been bound so she’d
obviously been incarcerated by her murderer.
There have been many versions of the Mount Vernon Jane Doe’s
face. That didn’t stop me, of course, from doing my own version.
I chose to make her younger looking — closer to 18.

Most of the other versions emphasize her eyebrows, making them
very dark. I think, since she was blondish, that her brows would
have been lighter. The post mortem picture of the victim shows
her with dark, wet hair so she’d obviously been recently washed.
The water may have darkened her brows too.
It would be totally awesome if, after all these years, this Jane
Doe were identified. That might also lead to the identity of her
murderer who hopefully led a life full of suffering and pain and
then died excruciatingly.
If anybody has any idea of who this Jane Doe is, please contact
the Westchester County Medical Examiner’s Office at (914)
231-1600, or the Mount Vernon Police Department at (914)
665-2510. Refer to case number MEW 88-410. The listed contact
person is Detective Christopher DiMase.
