"Lime Lady"
LIME LADY: WF, 18-25, found near Jones, OK - 18 April 1980
QKgLUNt
On April 18, 1980, the mummified corpse of a woman was found
near Jones in Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, floating in the North
Canadian River. She was between the ages of eighteen and
twenty-five, five feet six inches tall and weighed around 115 to
120 pounds. The presence of three gunshot wounds was a clear
indication of homicide.[251] She had a heart tattoo on her chest
as well as an appendectomy scar. The nickname "Lime Lady" came
from the quicklime that had been used on the remains, probably
in an attempt to accelerate decomposition. Adversely, the
quicklime preserved the corpse. One of the wounds contained
clothing fibers and a dime that had been driven into the body by
a .45 caliber bullet. It is believed that she may have been
murdered by a biker gang earlier that year or in 1979, though
some reports state she was deceased for as little as ten days.
Multiple facial reconstructions were created, and DNA was
extracted for profiling in 2014.[252][253][254]

DNA profile of Oklahoma's murdered 'lime lady' emerges after
three decades
By Cristina Corbin
Published February 28, 2014
FoxNews.com
HTML https://i.imgur.com/nKkPO7c.jpg
It was April 1980 when a group of fisherman discovered the body
of a mystery woman along the banks of the North Canadian River
in a case that has become Oklahoma's oldest unsolved murder.
The killers had covered Jane Doe's body in "quicklime,"
believing the chemical would hasten decomposition, but the
substance instead "mummified" the body and preserved evidence,
allowing the medical examiner to create a DNA profile of the
woman -- long nicknamed "The Lime Lady" -- some 34 years after
her death, authorities told FoxNews.com.
"We have never been able to identify this girl for all this
time," said Capt. Bob Green of the Oklahoma County Sheriff's
Department, who, along with a team of investigators, is working
to match the woman's DNA with a known missing person.
Jane Doe was shot three times in the chest with a .45 caliber
handgun and dumped in brush along the east bank of the North
Canadian River in the town of Jones, about 20 miles east of
Oklahoma City. The fair-skinned woman with shoulder-length brown
hair, who authorities say was between 18 and 25-years-old, had
been lying in the thicket for about 10 days when she was found
on April 18, 1980. A dime along with fibers from her clothing
were found inside her chest as a result of one of the gunshot
wounds, Green said.
"I believe she was dumped there and that this was the second
crime scene," he said. "She was killed elsewhere."
For more than three decades, authorities hoped a distinctive
marking on the young woman's body would lead to a break in the
case: a small, heart-shaped tattoo just above her left breast.
It was not until recently that authorities were able to create a
DNA profile of Jane Doe. The medical examiner had preserved DNA
from the body, even though forensic testing was not advanced in
1980.
Authorities from the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Department have
been working with workers from North Texas State University's
lab in comparing Jane Doe's DNA to the profiles of other murder
victims. To date, no match has been made.
Green said it is possible the victim lived in a foster home at
some point in her life because no one reported a missing woman
matching her description at that time.
"That might have been a reason why nobody ever looked for her,"
Brown told FoxNews.com. "She could be from anywhere – not
necessarily Oklahoma."
Green said he believes more than one person was responsible for
her death, and noting that, "violent outlaw biker gangs" were
present in Oklahoma in 1980.
According to a profile created on the National Missing and
Unidentified Persons System, the woman is described as a white
female, about 5-foot-6 and weighing 115 pounds at the time of
her death. The report says Jane Doe had an appendectomy scar and
extensive dental work, with some teeth out of alignment.
Green said that once authorities positively identify the
so-called Lime Lady, they will be much closer to finding her
killers.
Anyone with information on this case is urged to call
authorities at 405-713-1017.
