I still can't believe that with today's technology, that we have no national DNA database.
"She’s known to searchers as Jane Seneca Doe.
For years, Grundy County, Illinois, Deputy Chief Coroner Brandon Johnson has been trying to find out what happened to a young woman found dumped in a ditch decades ago. Thought to be between 15 and 27 years old, the African American victim was found shot in the head off a highway in Seneca on Oct. 2, 1976.
October marks 45 years since she was found in 1976 by a farmer and his daughter along a Seneca highway about an hour and a half southwest of Chicago. At the time, the Grundy County sheriff’s department investigated and determined she was killed elsewhere and brought to the field. A 1976 coroner’s report listed a bullet wound to the head, multiple skull fractures and estimated her age at about 20 years.
Details from 1976 include the red, black and white cardigan she was found with that had a bottle of T.J. Swann wine in the pocket. The autopsy suggested a scar on her right hip.
“We know more now than we ever knew before. I’m confident one day she’ll have her name back.”
Until then, her bones remain in the coroner’s office cooler.
“She’s still here, in our care,” he said."
