       20 feet off a road in the wooded, uninhabited area between
       Bethany and Honesdale, in Wayne County. Early reports stated
       that the remains had been stuffed into two plastic bags. Some
       reported that they were hidden in thick underbrush or
       rhododendrons.

       Pennsylvania 1977 Jane Doe
       Mystery of Bethany Bones still unresolved
       November 20, 2011
       HONESDALE – She was laid to rest in late summer in an old
       cemetery along the banks of Dyberry Creek.
       There was no family to say final farewells, no friends holding
       hands in prayer, not even a real name to carve into her
       headstone or stamp on the cover of the cold case file that
       contains everything that is known about “Jane Doe 1977.”
       That sad biographical tidbit etched on her new granite tombstone
       is the lone identity investigators have been able to attach to
       the fragmented remains that were kept for nearly three decades
       in a filing cabinet at a Honesdale photography shop owned by a
       former county coroner. A state trooper, Wayne County
       commissioner and coroner tossed dirt onto the unidentified
       woman’s casket at a special interment ceremony on Sept. 3 meant
       to give her the dignity of a proper burial – 34 years after her
       bones were found several miles north of the cemetery.
       “I just thought it was the respectful thing to do,” Commissioner
       Wendell R. Kay said. “Nobody knew who she was.”
       Jimmy Hoffa’s remains?
       The skeletal remains hunters stumbled upon in thick brush off a
       road near Bethany, Wayne County on Oct. 24, 1977, are an
       incomplete puzzle that has confounded scores of investigators.
       What came to be known as “the Bethany Bones” were even mistaken
       for the never-recovered remains of Jimmy Hoffa, the
       International Brotherhood of Teamsters president who was last
       seen in a parking lot outside a suburban Detroit restaurant in
       1975.
       “The teeth were so close to Hoffa’s that the FBI jumped on it
       right away,” then-Wayne County Coroner Robert F. Jennings said
       in a recent interview. “There was so many gold fillings. It had
       to be somebody that was very wealthy.”
       Mr. Jennings, who lost his bid for a fourth term in the 1979
       coroner’s election, said he did not come up with the Hoffa
       theory, contrary to the opinion of some in the tightknit
       community of Honesdale.
       Because Wayne County lacked the facilities to conduct a proper
       inquiry into the suspicious death that was considered a possible
       homicide, Mr. Jennings said he had the remains sent to the New
       York City medical examiner’s office. He believed it was a
       “gangland” murder, deserving of deeper inquiry.
       Mr. Jennings said he had his suspicions about possible suspects
       and referred his findings to law enforcement. All these years
       later, he has concluded that if Jane Doe 1977 was murdered, the
       person responsible is more than likely dead.
       “I still feel deep down that one person should have really been
       looked at,” he said, but declined to elaborate.
       Dr. Dominick DiMaio, M.D., the New York City chief medical
       examiner, compared Jane Doe 1977’s dental work with Mr. Hoffa’s
       medical records and determined that the remains were not Mr.
       Hoffa’s. It was later determined that the bones belonged to a
       woman, according to a 1980 examination of the remains by Clyde
       C. Snow, Ph.D., a forensic anthropology consultant with an
       Oklahoma City, Oklahoma laboratory.
       Despite these findings, the idea of the Bethany Bones belonging
       to the vanished Teamsters boss was embraced across the region
       and is still part of local lore.
       Wayne County Coroner Carol Lienert said, who was first elected
       to the post in 2003 and who was part of Jane Doe’s interment
       ceremony, remembers being a teenager and hearing the Jimmy Hoffa
       story around town.
       When hunters stumbled upon Jane Doe’s remains, there were no
       clues for state police to suggest how she got there, Mrs.
       Lienert said. Animals, time, and weather took their toll on the
       remains, leaving just bones and specks of tissue.
       “They can be cleaned up pretty quickly with scavengers,” she
       said.
       Aside from a few ribs and fingers, the skeleton was largely
       intact.
       Mystery lingers
       Investigators were able to estimate that she was approximately 5
       feet, 7 inches tall, about 175 pounds, white and 65 years old.
       Markings on her bones suggested she may have been bedridden,
       according to Dr. Snow and Dr. DiMaio’s reports obtained by The
       Sunday Times.
       Investigators swept the area with a metal detector, but found no
       clues. Frank Golden, now a retired state trooper who was on the
       case when the bones were found, said there was no evidence at
       the scene to suggest what happened, how long the body had been
       there or to develop any suspects.
       “Nothing that you could tie to anything,” he said of the lack of
       evidence. “Just bones, no flesh, as I recall.”
       Two plastic bags were found near the remains. The bags were
       apparently torn away from the body by animals, according to Mr.
       Jennings’ 1977 notes.
       State police interviewed a neighbor who resided less than a mile
       from where she was found. The neighbor told them earlier that
       year she saw a red pickup truck with New York tags parked near
       the discovery site, Mrs. Lienert said.
       Investigators were also told by neighbors that a few months
       before the discovery they smelled a strong stench in the area,
       but thought it was a dead animal. These tips produced no arrests
       nor shed any light on who Jane Doe 1977 was or how her body
       ended up off a rural road in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
       Wayne County District Attorney Michael Lehutsky took up the cold
       case in early 2008 in what ultimately became a futile attempt to
       try to piece together her life and death.
       “There was no obvious sign of foul play, like a bullet hole in
       the skull or the like,” he said. “There was no identification or
       other items that would point to identity, no local missing
       person reports (and) reports of a number of missing persons from
       other areas were looked into without success.”
       Autopsy records list her cause of death as undetermined, Mr.
       Lehutsky said.
       As Mr. Lehutsky and state police moved to solve the mystery of
       her murder, they were presented with another: Where were the
       remains?
       ‘Bethany Bones’ missing
       The district attorney wanted to try to match a DNA sample from
       the bones to a person listed in the National Missing and
       Unidentified Persons System, a U.S. Department of Justice
       clearinghouse of data on missing people and unidentified
       decedent records. There are roughly 40,000 unidentified human
       remains in the custody of medical examiners and coroners across
       the country, according to U.S. Justice Department figures. Some
       are buried or cremated before they are identified.
       But, Jane Doe 1977’s bones had not been buried, and they were
       not in the county’s possession nor stowed away in the coroner’s
       office. Mr. Lehutsky had a hunch and called Mr. Jennings in
       February 2008.
       “He advised that he would call me back and let me know what he
       was able to find,” Mr. Lehutsky said.
       Bones stored in filing cabinet
       Later that month, Mr. Jennings called Mr. Lehutsky to say he had
       Jane Doe 1977’s remains. He was willing to turn them over to
       state police, which he did.
       Mr. Jennings said he kept Jane Doe’s skull and some bones tucked
       away in a filing cabinet in a room above his Honesdale
       photography shop because, “nobody else wanted it.”
       State police picked up one unmarked box.
       Mr. Jennings said the New York City chief medical examiner sent
       the remains back to him through the mail. The former coroner
       said he stowed the skeleton away because he feared it would get
       into the “wrong hands.” Someone might try to pry out its gold
       fillings, he said, or it could simply be lost, ruining any
       chance of identification or finding a suspect.
       “My purpose was the amount of gold. … I felt a responsibility,”
       he said. “And the principle if there was any leads on it. … I
       felt I preserved it the best I could.”
       Mr. Lehutsky said while he debated the potential legal
       ramifications of Mr. Jennings retaining Jane Doe 1977’s remains
       all these years, he concluded that the greater goal was to have
       the bones returned.
       “The objective was to try to get the body,” Mr. Lehutsky said,
       rather than “fight 30-year-old wars over the Wayne County
       coroner’s office.
       “I can’t tell you that I recall him offering any explanation of
       why he was in possession of it.”
       Mr. Jennings said he believes he did no wrong by keeping the
       Bethany Bones.
       “In fact, I think Lehutsky was the first one to call for it.
       Whatever I had was distributed to the proper authorities,” Mr.
       Jennings said, adding that he has no other remains from his
       tenure as coroner.
       Proper burial
       With the remains now in the custody of state police, Jane Doe
       1977’s skeleton was shipped to the Center for Human
       Identification at the University of North Texas. An
       anthropological examination at the university in May 2008
       confirmed Jane Doe 1977 was an “older” woman, Mr. Lehutsky said.
       The lab also performed DNA analysis, but produced no match to
       anyone in the national missing persons database, Mr. Lehutsky
       said.
       The last-ditch effort to identify the Bethany Bones had failed.
       Despite her burial, Mr. Lehutsky says the case remains open “but
       without a lead as to the possible identity of the remains there
       is not much we can do at present.”
       “Despite our renewed efforts we are once again at a standstill,”
       he said. “Anyone who has any info that might help us identify
       this woman should contact us.”

       office. Mr. Lehutsky had a hunch and called Mr. Jennings in
       February 2008.
       "He advised that he would call me back and let me know what he
       was able to find," Mr. Lehutsky said.
       Bones stored in filing cabinet
       Later that month, Mr. Jennings called Mr. Lehutsky to say he had
       Jane Doe 1977's remains. He was willing to turn them over to
       state police, which he did.
       Mr. Jennings said he kept Jane Doe's skull and some bones tucked
       away in a filing cabinet in a room above his Honesdale
       photography shop because, "nobody else wanted it."
       State police picked up one unmarked box.
       Mr. Jennings said the New York City chief medical examiner sent
       the remains back to him through the mail. The former coroner
       said he stowed the skeleton away because he feared it would get
       into the "wrong hands." Someone might try to pry out its gold
       fillings, he said, or it could simply be lost, ruining any
       chance of identification or finding a suspect.
       "My purpose was the amount of gold. ... I felt a
       responsibility," he said. "And the principle if there was any
       leads on it. ... I felt I preserved it the best I could."
       Mr. Lehutsky said while he debated the potential legal
       ramifications of Mr. Jennings retaining Jane Doe 1977's remains
       all these years, he concluded that the greater goal was to have
       the bones returned.
       "The objective was to try to get the body," Mr. Lehutsky said,
       rather than "fight 30-year-old wars over the Wayne County
       coroner's office.
       "I can't tell you that I recall him offering any explanation of
       why he was in possession of it."
       Mr. Jennings said he believes he did no wrong by keeping the
       Bethany Bones.
       "In fact, I think Lehutsky was the first one to call for it.
       Whatever I had was distributed to the proper authorities," Mr.
       Jennings said, adding that he has no other remains from his
       tenure as coroner.
       Proper burial
       With the remains now in the custody of state police, Jane Doe
       1977's skeleton was shipped to the Center for Human
       Identification at the University of North Texas. An
       anthropological examination at the university in May 2008
       confirmed Jane Doe 1977 was an "older" woman, Mr. Lehutsky said.
       The lab also performed DNA analysis, but produced no match to
       anyone in the national missing persons database, Mr. Lehutsky
       said.
       The last-ditch effort to identify the Bethany Bones had failed.
       Despite her burial, Mr. Lehutsky says the case remains open "but
       without a lead as to the possible identity of the remains there
       is not much we can do at present."
       "Despite our renewed efforts we are once again at a standstill,"
       he said. "Anyone who has any info that might help us identify
       this woman should contact us."

       gold fillings and overlays.
       DNA: Available
       Case Details
       On Monday, October 24, 1977, a turkey hunter stumbled upon human
       skeletal remains about 20 feet off of a dirt road in a wooded,
       uninhabited area between Bethany and Honesdale. Early reports
       stated that the remains had been stuffed into two plastic bags.
       Some reported that they were hidden in thick underbrush, another
       stated that they were found in a bunch of rhododendrons. Either
       way, the hunter could not have foreseen the headlines generated
       by his discovery.
       The unidentified remains garnered national attention. They were
       described as a heavy-set, muscular, white male, around 5'6",
       with extensive gold dental work, age estimated around 60 years
       old. It was speculated that they may be the remains of union
       leader Jimmy Hoffa, who disappeared July 30, 1975 at the age of
       62.
       The remains were sent to the New York City Medical Examiner's
       Office, who had the equipment and expertise to conduct a dental
       comparison between the unidentified person and Hoffa.
       The remains were not Hoffa and, as quickly as the headlines had
       appeared, the unknown skeleton faded from the news.
       State police spoke with a resident who lived less than a mile
       from where the remains were found. She stated that earlier in
       1977 she had seen a red pickup truck with NY plates parked near
       the site where the bones were discovered.
       Three years later, an examination by a forensic anthropology
       consultant in Oklahoma determined that the remains were not
       those of a male, but a white female.
       Little is known about how she died. Animals had apparently torn
       the bags from the body and they, and nature, had left only the
       bones, with no apparent evidence of foul play.
       In May 2008, the Bethany Bones, as she had become known, were
       sent to the Center for Human Identification at the University of
       North Texas. UNT confirmed that the remains were of a white,
       'older' woman. DNA was also extracted from the bones, but no
       match was produced when the DNA was run through the national
       missing persons databases.
       On September 3, 2011, almost 34 years after she was found, this
       unknown lady was laid to rest in an old cemetery near Dyberry
       Creek, not far from where she was found. Her headstone is marked
       simply "Jane Doe 1977".
