POLICE HOPE VICTIM LIKENESS HELPS CASE

The facial reconstruction of a hmicide victim found near Jones on April 18 has been completed and Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation officials hope the technique will help them discover the identity of the victim.

The nude body of the white woman, covered with a powdery substance, was found in a ditch along the North Canadian River 1 1/2 miles east of Jones, police said.

Jones police chief Ray Kerr said an autopsy by the State Medical Examiner's office showed the woman had been shot three times in the chest with a large caliber gun, possibly a pistol.

Kerr described the woman as freckle-faced, 18 to 23 years old, weighing about 120 pounds with shoulder length, straight brown hair and crooked teeth.

Pictures of the victim's reconstructed face were released to the news media Wednesday and pictures will be distributed to lawmen throughout the region today, OSBI spokesman Paul Renfrow said.

"We've been in contact with law enforcement agencies throughout the nation. We'll send copies to almost every law enforcement agency in the country," he said.

Although police are still checking information gathered from people who called after the OSBI and the Jones Police Department released a composite drawing of the woman in April, many leads have been eliminated, Renfrow said.

Many of the calls have been in reference to a red, heart-shaped tattoo outlined in blue over the victim's laft breast, he said.

"We got a lot of calls. A lot of them we could rule out immediately but a lot were good enough to follow up. "We're hoping, with this relatively new technique that someone will recognize her and call us," he said.

The technique has been used by OSBI in the past and provides a more lifelike look than drawings, officials said.....

April 19, 1982

It was two years ago Sunday when a fisherman found her body, covered with lime, on the banks of the Canadian river near Jones.
Oklahoma crime agents are still looking for the murdererof the young woman who was shot to death.Her nude body was left on the bank of the river where it was found April 18, 1980.
Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation spokesman Paul Renfrow said Sunday the agency is again appealing to the public for any leads that might solve the mystery.
Attempts at identification, including fingerprint comparisons, the circulation of a composite drawing of the victim, and a facial reconstruction made with modeling clay sculptured over the scull, have failed.
Renfrow said the case is one of the few in which the agency has made such extensive yet unsuccessful efforts at identification.
The woman is described as being 18-25 years old, weighing 118-120 pounds. She has shoulder-length medium to light brown hair with a fair complexion and freckles. Her most unusual identifying mark, however, is a small red and blue heart-shaped tattoo over the left breast.

Renfrow said anyone with any information should call the OSBI toll-free at 1-800 522-8523 or in Oklahoma City at 427-5421.

Police Seek Identity of 1980 Jane Doe
Unsolved
July 11, 2012
By: Kristy Gault

On April 18, 1980, an unidentified female was located on the east bank of the North Canadian River, 20 miles east of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and very near in proximity to the town of Jones, Oklahoma. Her identity is still unknown, but police feel there is someone out there who holds the key to her identity.

The Oklahoma County Medical Examiner’s Office at the time determined that she was a white female, aged 18 to 25 with light, reddish-brown, shoulder-length hair and being of a height of 5'6" or 5'7". The young woman weighed about 120 pounds. The woman's skin was fair with soft freckles dotting her face and upper torso.

She had irregular teeth with numerous areas of restoration. Her teeth were in excellent condition, indicating good oral hygiene and her wisdom teeth were missing. The female had an appendectomy scar on her lower abdomen and a tattoo on her upper left chest of a red and blue, professionally rendered tattoo of a heart with a scroll like line going through the heart. The heart and line was done was in blue ink and center of heart is colored in red ink.

The death of the woman was ruled a homicide in 1980. She was shot 3 times in the chest area with a .45 caliber pistol. Police determined that the woman was likely shot at another location and dumped at the river's edge. A dime was found inside a chest wound on the woman along with a .45 caliber bullet, indicating that she had been dressed when she was shot or holding a handbag in front of herself. The victim’s body was found nude, laying on her back, and covered in lime.

Bob Green is an investigator with the FBI Violent Crimes Task Force in Oklahoma City. In January 2012, he took command of the criminal investigations division at the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office, and recently decided to take a new look at one of the older, unsolved cold cases. "The “Lime Lady” really seemed interesting and I thought if we could at least get her identified we might get somewhere. This is my effort alone and I am still reviewing what is in the case file. She has got to be someone’s somebody, and they need closure as well. She was in her early 20s and could still have a parent living or a sibling," he said.

Many years have passed since this Jane Doe was first discovered, but the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Department has never stopped trying to identify her. Through the years, several sketches were drawn of her, and of her tattoo. Recently police released the actual photo of the woman's tattoo in hopes that someone would see it and remember it. If you have any information as to the identity of this unidentified female, please call Captain Bob Green, Criminal Investigations Division, Commander Dignitary Protection Unit at 405-713-1036
