Woman a 'Jane Doe' for 30 years
MATT COUGHLIN
10/15/2004
EDITOR'S NOTE: The Cold Case series was conceived by Matt
Coughlin, former police reporter at The Reporter, who wrote this
story before he left.
Two brothers and a sister were sledding near Old Baptist Road in
Lower Providence on Feb. 9, 1974, when they came upon a gruesome
discovery.
William Wood, then 11, climbed down an embankment by the
Skippack Creek at about 1 p.m. and there under a fallen tree he
saw a human skull.
William's brother Joe, 12, and sister, Joanne, 14, climbed down
and helped William retrieve the skull and the three then ran
home and showed their father, who called police.
"I saw the skull under the log", William later told police. "My
brother and sister helped me get it out and we carried it home."
Police eventually found the body of an elderly white female
whose foot was detached.
More than 30 years later, police are still investigating who
that skull belonged to and how the woman died.
When police investigated the scene in 1974, they found the
skeletal remains of a white woman who was between 65 and 75
years old.
Since the discovery, Pennsylvania State Police and Lower
Providence Police have had multiple experts examine the remains
to give them further clues about the skeletal remains.
Investigators placed "Jane Doe's" time of death in mid-December
1973.
Forensic anthropologists and the coroner have estimated she was
between 5 feet 5 inches and 5 feet 10 inches tall. Examiners
also told police the woman was overweight and had severe
arthritis in her back and knees.
Jane Doe's left foot was found in a Marvel Bread plastic bag,
detached from the leg, still wearing a purple slipper that
appeared to have been handmade.
The victim was wearing a light-colored knit dress, and an orange
smock or housecoat with small light-colored floral designs on
it.

As you get to the end of Fern Avenue, you'll be reaching Old
Baptist Road and the remains of a bridge. It's still in decent
condition.
