On Valentine’s Day of 1978, a young girl was found slain near San Diego, California, having been subjected to brutal torture before her death. To this day, she remains unidentified, and is referred to only as San Diego County Jane Doe.
The victim was white, between fourteen and eighteen years old, and stood only about five feet tall. She had brown hair tied back in a ponytail, and one of her ears was misshapen and smaller than the other.
The girl had been tortured before being murdered, and her body had been set on fire. Bizarrely, though, the cause of death was found to have been poisoning. She had been killed approximately two days before her body was discovered alongside Proctor Valley Road in a rural area of Chula Vista.
No one ever came forward to identify the victim, though a new composite sketch of her was released to the public in 2014.
