Berrien County Jane Doe
The remains of a woman were found on August 23, 1992 in New
Buffalo, Berrien County, Michigan. The victim was nude and
between the ages of 65 and 75 when she was murdered. The victim
was wrapped in a bed sheet, two garbage bags and a towel and
left alongside a highway. Her hands were severed to prevent
identification through fingerprint examination. The victim was
also missing her dentures, as she had no teeth. The body was at
the scene for approximately two days, but she was killed four to
seven days before. The woman may have been from a nursing home
in Illinois or Indiana. She was believed to have been five feet
two inches tall at a weight of around 102 pounds.

Michigan police hope DNA tests will ID remains found in '92
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — Michigan State Police are hoping DNA
testing will reveal the identity of woman whose remains were
found nearly 30 years ago.
The police are turning to the DNA Doe Project, an organization
that uses a DNA database to make comparisons and reconstruct
family trees. After decades of investigating, authorities are
hoping to bring justice to the woman whose remains were found
inside two garbage bags in 1992, WOOD-TV reported.
Detective Sgt. Douglas Kill said he is optimistic given the
success of the DNA organization.
“This is going to be great for identifying this woman, maybe
bringing some closure to some family members who just never knew
what happened to her,” Kill noted.
Missing from the remains were the woman's hands and a set of
dentures. Kill said the level of decomposition made it
impossible to determine how she died.
“It was obvious to the detective at the time that somebody was
trying to disguise her identity or keep her from being
identified, and that makes it really difficult," Kill said.
Police know the woman was white, from 65 to 70 years old and had
been deceased about a week before her body was dropped in New
Buffalo.
The DNA Doe Project "has sent out their investigators to follow
up on the leads they have, so to me that indicates that they’ve
found some family members someplace and they’re working on it,”
Kill said.
The person who found the remains and told police, Mark Henshaw,
says he wants justice to be served.
“If they did it once, who’s to say they haven’t done it again?”
Henshaw told WOOD-TV.

In the evening of August 23, 1992, a passerby noticed what
appeared to be a body wrapped in a black plastic bag 15 feet off
the side of a rural road near Red Arrow Highway in New Buffalo,
Michigan. The nude, decomposing remains of a White-Caucasian
elderly woman were found wrapped in a sheet and inside two
garbage bags, with her feet wrapped in an institutional-type
white towel. Both her hands and her dentures were missing.
Forensic scientists determined the body had been dumped about 24
hours prior, and that the woman had been deceased from four to
seven days. Investigators speculate she may have come from a
care facility in either northern Illinois or Indiana.
DNA Doe Project Status: Research in progress
