The Walker County Jane Doe is an unidentified murder victim discovered on 1 November 1980, in Huntsville, Walker County, Texas. After the investigation of her murder and identity went cold, she was buried in a donated casket in the Oakwood Cemetery in the same town where she was found.[1] To this day, she has yet to be identified, even though her face has been reconstructed several times. In 1999, the remains were exhumed to obtain more information of the victim's height and age, as well as a DNA sample.[1][2]
Case
The body of a girl aged between 14 and 18 (although possibly as old as 20) was found laying face-down and nude by a passing driver on 1 November 1980 in Huntsville, Walker County, Texas.[3] The victim had been dead for around six hours; the cause of death was strangulation, although she had also been severely beaten, had a visible bite mark on her right shoulder, and had been sexually assaulted with a blunt instrument.[4] She had light-brown hair past her shoulders, a scar above her right eyebrow, and had been no taller than 5 feet 6 inches in height.[1] Her toenails had been painted pink, she had hazel eyes, and wore a rectangular smoky blue glass stone on a thin gold chain necklace.[2][5] High-heeled red leather sandals with light brown straps, which likely belonged to the victim, were recovered from the scene. She appeared to have been from a middle-class household, as she was at a healthy weight and her teeth had been well cared for.[6]

Sightings
Multiple people reported seeing a teenage girl matching the victim's description, including the manager of the South End Gulf station, who described her as wearing jeans and a yellow pullover, and said she asked directions to the Ellis Prison Unit, which is located about 14 miles from where her body was later found.[7][1] She was reportedly dropped off by a man driving a blue 1973 or 1974 Chevrolet Caprice with a lighter-colored top.[4] After getting directions, the girl left on foot.[1]
A waitress from a truck stop also believed that she had spoken to, and drawn a map for, the victim. The waitress said that she suspected the girl was a possible runaway, and that she said she was from Rockport or Aransas Pass, Texas. The victim claimed to be 19 years old; when the waitress expressed doubts and asked if the victim's parents knew where she was, the girl replied, "Who cares?"[8][9][10][7][11]
Investigation
Inmates at the prison were shown photos of the victim, but none could identify her. It is possible that the girl may have been trying to meet with a guard, rather than a prisoner.[1]
