EDWARDS COUNTY JANE DOE

EDWARDS COUNTY "JANE DOE"

On December 26, 2001 a couple of hunters discovered the skeletal remains of a body located in the Dos Arroyos Ranch in Edwards County, TX. The hunters immediately notified the Edward Sheriff's Office and a report was initiated for the incident of a "Jane Doe" who has remained unidentified as of this date. On July 27, 2013 Sheriff Pamela Elliott re-opened the Cold Case of "Jane Doe" and requested the assistance of Texas Ranger Roger Dixon in hopes of identifying Edwards County's "Jane Doe". The DNA of Edwards County "Jane Doe" was entered in the Combined DNA Index System, or CODIS. CODIS blends forensic science and computer technology into a tool for linking crimes. It enables federal, state, and local forensic laboratories to exchange and compare DNA profiles electronically, thereby linking violent crimes to each other and to known offenders. Using the National DNA Index System of CODIS, the National Missing Persons DNA Database also helps identify missing and unidentified individuals such as our Edwards County "Jane Doe" but no successful matches have occurred yet so it was requested that "Jane Doe's" remains be transferred from the University of North Texas (UNT) Anthropology Department to the Texas Ranger Forensic Artist for the purpose of crafting a facial reconstruction image using the skeletal remains. Edwards County Sheriff's Office is seeking the assistance of the public in identifying Edwards County "Jane Doe". If anyone recognizes or knows the identity of the subject known as Edwards County "Jane Doe" please contact: Sheriff Pamela Elliott (830) 683-4104, email edwards_sec@yahoo.com
