Reconstruction by Frank Bender
Unidentified White Female
Discovered on January 24, 1988 in Bensalem, Bucks County
Estimated Time of Death: 1-5 years, but most likely more than 3
years, prior to being found
State of Remains: skeletal
Vital Statistics
Estimated Age: 17 to 23 years old
Estimated Height: 5'-5'3"
Estimated Weight: 100-120 lbs
Haircolor: Brown
Other: she was six months pregnant when she died.
Clothing/Jewelry: Braxton stretch designer jeans (size 8),
a purple lace camisole,
black leather open-toed platform shoes (size 8 to 8 1/2)
and a black bodysuit top.
She was also wearing an oval sterling silver ring with five
clear stones and five additional stones missing
and a silver colored ring with a belt-and-buckle design.
Other clothing found near the remains: a black blouse with gold
and silver metallic threads,
gray leather high-heeled pump shoes (size 6 to 6 1/2),
a white patterned pullover dress
and black mesh stockings.
It is unknown if the additional clothing belonged to the victim.
DNA: available
Dentals: available
Case HistoryOn January 24, 1988, a man walking his dog
discovered the skeletal remains of a young woman in a
valve/pumphouse at the old Publicker distillery property on
State Road in Bensalem.
About 8 inches of water and oil fuel had to be pumped out of the
vault-like structure to retrieve the remains.
The pumphouse, which is mostly underground, houses pipes and
valves that connect to a concrete storage tank, which was once
used to store distilled spirits that had been manufactured at
the distillery. The distillery was closed down in the early 70s.
In 1974, the six huge storage tanks on the property were being
used to store fuel oil, which in all likelyhood was the cause of
the oil found in the pumphouse. By the time the victim was
found, the property had become an illegal dumping ground for
stolen vehicles and was well known to local criminals.
Flyers with a picture of the above reconstruction were
distributed to school guidance counselors and doctors' offices
(particulary obstetrician/gynecologists), clinics and local
police departments. Dental records were also distributed. There
were, at the time, 50 missing person reports nationwide that fit
the description of the woman, but all of them were eliminated
from the investigation.

Bensalem, PA-Jan 24, 1988-Bucks County Jane Doe
Updated about 6 months ago · Taken at Bucks County, Pennsylvania
It is estimated that she was deceased between 1 and 5 years
before she was found, and most probably at least 3 years. So she
most likely went missing sometime around 1983-1985. She could
have been missing longer than that.
It is estimated that she is between the ages of 17 and 23. As we
all are aware estimates can sometimes be off. She was 6 months
pregnant at the time of her death.
An unidentified female was found deceased on January 24, 1988 in
Bensalem, Pennsylvania. Her body was found on the old Publicker
Distillery property off State Road near the Delaware River. She
had been deceased for several years prior to being found. The
female is approximately 16-21 years old. She was petite standing
around 5’00”-5’01” and weighing 100-120 pounds. The female was
also six months pregnant. An exam of her teeth revealed that she
had poor dental health. Two lower back teeth had been extracted
earlier in life possible due to severe decay. She was possibly
subjected to facial trauma that resulted in severe tooth loss of
her upper three front teeth that might have been noticeable in
life. The female also had a slight open bite. The female was
found clothed in designer “Braxton” jeans, a purple lace
camisole, a white patterned dress, and black mesh stockings. Two
rings were found with the female. One was a silver oval ring
with settings for 10 stones. 5 clear stones were present and 5
were missing. The second ring was silver with a belt and buckle
design. Two different pairs of shoes were found. One was a black
leather open toed platform shoe and the second pair was a grey
leather high heeled pump. The image above is a facial
reconstruction created by a NCMEC Forensic Artist and depicts
what the female may have looked like in life. The additional
images are enhanced images of the rings found with the female.

Bucks County Jane Doe
Bucks County Jane Doe, locally nicknamed asPublicker Jane Doe,
was a girl or woman found deceased near a water distillery plant
in January 1988 in Pennsylvania.
Case
The remains were found in January 1988, some time after the
female died, most likely three years before. Many articles of
clothing were found with the body, but it is unknown if it
belonged to her.
Frank Bender's clay reconstruction of the victim was briefly
shown on an episode of Forensic Files when Bender was
interviewed about the List family murders.
Physical traits
The female was likely between 16 and 21, although she may have
been as old as 30.
She had poor dental hygiene.
She was pregnant with a baby at about six months gestation.
She had a slight open bite.
