The skeletal remains of Luzerne County Jane Doe were found near
a remote Sugarloaf Township mine. Her cause of death was never
determined but is presumed to have been homicide. Her remains
had been left on the surface of the ground, and were estimated
to have been at the location for up to two years. She was
between 34 and 47 years old. A yellow shirt, reading "kiss my
ass, I'm on vacation," women's underwear, sweatpants and boy's
shoes were found. She had borne at least one child, and likely
suffered from back pain and may have walked with a limp when
alive. She had a significant number of missing teeth, and a
fragment of metal unrelated to dental work was found in her jaw.

A female skeleton was found at the edge of a strip mine on
December 20, 1994, near Sugarloaf, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.
The remains had been left on the surface of the ground, and were
estimated to have been at the location for up to two years.
Despite the cause of death not being apparent upon examination,
the case is being investigated as a homicide. The woman was
between 34 and 47 years old at the time of death, and between at
5 feet 1 to 5 feet 4 inches in height. With the body, a yellow
shirt, reading "kiss my ass, I'm on vacation," women's
underwear, sweatpants and boy's shoes were found. She had borne
at least one child, and likely suffered from back pain and may
have walked with a limp when alive. She also had a significant
number of missing teeth, and a fragment of metal unrelated to
