Do you recognize Lee County Jane Doe?

The FBI and other law enforcement agencies need your help to identify Lee County Jane Doe.

Her skeletal remains were found on January 28, 2012 at a trailer park on Hurst Street, Opelika, Lee County, Alabama. The authorities think that she was between 4-7 years old. Please take a look to see if you recognize this child.

Lee County Jane Doe probably died in a span of 8 months to two years before she was found. This places her estimated death between 2010 and 2012.

Her hair was black. It was of medium length and was styled in small tight curls. Due to the condition of her remains we do not know the color of her eyes. DNA tests so far are incomplete.

Her height and weight are unknown as the remains found do not form a complete skeleton. We miss her torso, one or both of her limbs, and one or both of her hands. Hence there are no fingerprints on file.

Aside from being incomplete, her remains were not even found all together but within about 50 feet of her skull. Her lower jaw, multiple bones, and some of her hair were found in a heavy wooded area within 50-75 feet of residences.

The anthropological assessment of her bones suggested that she was likely abused and malnourished while alive. The FBI lists her cause of death as probably homicide.

A long-sleeve pink shirt with heart buttons and small ruffles near the neckline was found near her skeletal remains. However, it is not sure that it belonged to this little girl.

Author Notes

I write about old, unsolved cases from the pre-DNA era. They need renewed media attention. I only do research and leave active investigation of these cases to professionals.

Posts include homicides, missing and unidentified people, wrongful convictions, and forensics as related to these cases.

On book reviews: I only review select works of true crime, crime fiction, and historical fiction/mysteries. The stories have to fit my website's theme and research. It remains my prerogative to not review a book. Please check the FAQ page for more.

My databases are sorted by the victim’s last name. They are free to the public.

If you have any questions about my website please check the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page, the about page, and the tabs in both menu bars. If you cannot find the answers there, please contact me.

Thank you,

Alice de Sturler
