On Friday, July 22, 1990, two children were hunting for berries
in a remote area of Monroe Township, about three miles south of
I-80 near Reidsburg. As they were crossing under a railroad
trestle, they saw what they thought was a deer lying in a
streambed. As they got closer, they found that it was a body,
lying face down in the muddy water.

Penny Doe
Found July 22, 1990 in Monroe Twp, Clarion County
Estimated Time of Death: 4-8 weeks prior to discovery.
Vital Statistics
Estimated Age: 15-22 years old
Estimated Height: 60" (5'), estimated
Estimated Weight: Pathology reports put her at 105 to 110 lbs,
but in life she may have weighed as much as 120 lbs.
Hair Color: dark brown, long
Eye Color: Unknown
Race: White
Dentals: Available. She may have come from an area with flouride
in the water since her teeth had no fillings and no sign of
decay. Despite the perfect condition of her teeth, there were
several distinctive characteristics that could help to identify
her:
A tooth in the upper right side of her mouth was chipped, but it
is unknown if the chip occurred before or after death.
One front tooth was short and stubby compared to the same tooth
on the other sign (unknown which tooth).
She still had one of her upper baby teeth behind the adult
tooth, i.e. the adult tooth had grown in but the baby tooth had
not fallen out (unknown which tooth).
She also had one upper tooth that was 90% rotated (unknown which
tooth).
Clothing: Size 9-10 Gitano Jeans. Fruit of the Loom panties,
size 7. A short-sleeve, black, button-down shirt with attached
floral vest, Stop Light California brand. No socks, shoes, bra
or jewelry. There was a penny in each jeans pocket. It is
unknown if the pennies were left on purpose, or simply
disregarded when her killer was emptying her pockets.
Case Details
On Friday, July 22,1990, two children were hunting for berries
in a remote area of Monroe Twp, about 3 miles south of I-80 near
Reidsburg. As they were crossing under a railroad trestle, they
saw what they thought was a deer lying in a stream bed. As they
got closer, they found that it was a body, lying face down in
the muddy water.
An autopsy showed that she had suffered blunt force trauma to
the right side of her skull. It also revealed that her right leg
was broken.
Authorities do not believe that she is from the local area or
the county, but they do think that it's likely her killer is,
since the area where she was found is so remote and the nearby
road is only lightly traveled. There are railroad tracks nearby
though, so it is possible that the killer may have followed the
tracks and found the area by chance.
In the summer of 2002, authorities received an anonymous letter
about the girl. Law Enforcement put out a plea, asking the
author of letter contact them again, but the writer never
responded.
On Sunday, May 27 - Memorial Day Weekend - about 5,100 people
attended a day-long, outdoor rock concert about 15 miles from
where Jane Doe was found. The concert, called Music Alley,
featured rock bands The Stand; Down To The Wire; Lawyers, Guns &
Money; B.E. Taylor and Cleveland. It was held on a farm only 5
minutes from Exit 6 of I-80 and drew crowds from Pittsburgh,
Ohio and beyond.
Could Jane Doe have attended the concert? The timing of the
event would fit into how long she was dead before her body was
found, but there has never been any indication that she was
there.

Case History
The victim was found lying face down in a stream bed by Road 535
in a remote area of Monroe Township by teenagers who were
crossing under a railroad trestle looking for berries. They
observed something lying in the stream which they thought was a
deer, but upon further examination discovered it was a body. The
area is approximately three miles south of I-80 and is not a
well-traveled road.
Authorities are convinced there are individuals in Clarion
County who had contact with the woman and can help state police
identify her and her killer. They do not believe the woman is
from the county or the immediate area, but believe she was
brought to the area by a local individual. They also believe she
was in Clarion County at most a month, before she was killed.
On Sunday, May 27 - Memorial Day Weekend - about 5,100 people
attended a day-long, outdoor rock concert about 15 miles from
where Jane Doe was found. The concert, called Music Alley,
featured rock bands The Stand; Down To The Wire; Lawyers, Guns &
Money; B.E. Taylor and Cleveland. It was held on a farm only 5
minutes from Exit 6 of I-80 and drew crowds from Pittsburgh,
Ohio and beyond. There are no indication that she attended the
concert.
In the summer of 2002, authorities received an anonymous letter
about the girl. Law Enforcement put out a plea, asking the
author of letter contact them again, but the writer never
responded.
She has been nicknamed "Penny Doe."

Clarion County Jane Doe
Unsolved
On July 22, 1990, a couple of children were looking for berries
in a remote area of Monroe Township in Clarion County,
Pennsylvania. The kids spotted something in a stream and at
first thought it was a dead deer. Being curious they decided to
investigate and discovered that it was a dead woman. She was
lying face down in the water.
Authorities determined that this woman had been murdered and her
body dumped there a month or so previously. She had been
clobbered on the right side of her skull with something blunt.
Her right leg was broken.

"Penny Doe"
A female's body found in Monroe, Clarion County, Pennsylvania,
on July 22, 1990, the death blow being blunt-force trauma to the
head. Additionally, the right leg was broken. She was between
fifteen and twenty-two (although some sources report her being
as old as forty). She had very healthy teeth and had long brown
hair and had one baby tooth still in place on the top set of
teeth. The victim wore no bra, shoes or socks, which may have
been taken by the killer. In each pocket of the woman's jeans
was a single penny, which led to her nickname. The other
clothing worn was a vest over a black shirt reading "Stop Light
of California". She was not believed to have come from the area
where she was discovered

Penny Doe Cold Case Makes No Cents
Sunday, October 19, 2014 @ 12:10 AM
Posted by Ron Wilshire
MONROE TOWNSHIP, Pa. (EYT) – She only had a penny in each of her
pockets when she was found dead in muddy waters of a streambed
in Monroe Township in 1990, and her death is still a mystery in
2014 and remains a cold case of the Pennsylvania State Police
and Clarion County.
A photo of a reconstructed face at the time also provided no
leads.
Identity unknown, she was quickly nicknamed Penny Doe because of
the penny in her pockets after the investigation started.
On Friday, July 22, 1990, two children were hunting for berries
in a remote area of Monroe Township, about three miles south of
I-80 near Reidsburg. As they were crossing under a railroad
trestle, they saw what they thought was a deer lying in a
streambed. As they got closer, they found that it was a body,
lying face down in the muddy water.
An autopsy showed that she had suffered blunt force trauma to
the right side of her skull. It also revealed that her right leg
was broken.
Authorities did not believe that she was from the local area or
Clarion County, but they did think it was likely that her killer
was local because of the remote location where she was found and
the nearby road is lightly traveled. However, there are railroad
tracks nearby, so it is possible that the killer may have
followed the tracks and found the area by chance.
In the summer of 2002, authorities received an anonymous letter
about the girl. Law enforcement put out a plea, asking the
author of the letter to contact them again, but the writer never
responded.
Experts estimated she died four to eight weeks prior to her
discovery on that summer day. While police gained a lot of
information about the deceased woman, her identity was never
established and remains a cold case to this day.
Estimates on Penny’s age ranged between 15 and 22, although some
sources reported her as old as 40. She had very healthy teeth
and had one baby tooth still in place on her top set of teeth.
She wore no bra, socks or shoes, or the killer may have taken
them.
Police also explored a lead that she may have attended a
Memorial Day Concert May 27 at Music Alley near St. Petersburg
and somehow ended up in Monroe Township.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the
Clarion County Coroner’s Office at 814-275-1773 or the
Pennsylvania State Police Troop C-Clarion Criminal
Investigations Unit at 814-226-1710.
Clarion County Cold File Vital Statistics:
Estimated Age: 15-22 years old
Estimated Height: 60″ (5′), estimated
Estimated Weight: Pathology reports put her at 105 to 110 lbs.,
but in life she may have weighed as much as 120 lbs.
Hair Color: dark brown, long
Eye Color: Unknown
Race: Caucasian
Clothing: Size 9-10 Gitano Jeans. Fruit of the Loom panties,
size 7. A short-sleeve, black, button-down shirt with attached
floral vest, Stop Light California brand. No socks, shoes, bra
or jewelry.
