Los Angeles County Jane Doe

At around six-thirty a.m. on the morning of September 11th, 1991, passersby strolling through Green Meadows Park in Los Angeles stumbled across the dead body of a young white or Hispanic woman.

The victim—eventually dubbed Los Angeles County Jane Doe—was between fifteen and twenty years old, stood approximately five-foot-two, and weighed around one-hundred-seventy pounds. She had long, wavy dark hair that was layered in the front, brown eyes, and telltale marks and tan lines on her face that suggested she wore glasses or sunglasses with some regularity. She was fully dressed when found, clad in a blue striped t-shirt, denim shorts, black socks, and black hiking boots with white laces.

In addition, she had several distinguishing scars, including one on her right clavicle, one on her right knee, and one on the calf of her left leg. Her teeth showed signs of an infection in her upper right lateral incisor; this infection likely would have caused the girl significant discomfort in life.

Though Jane Doe’s cause of death was not released to the public, she was believed to have been murdered four to six hours prior to her body being found in the park. As of this writing, neither victim nor killer has been identified.
