Template:UIDTemplate:Graphic Owen County Jane Doe was a female murdered in Kentucky in 1988. Her body was left in a field, along Highway 330. Investigators now believe that she may have ties to south Florida and Columbus, Ohio.

Case

The victim was found by a couple walking in a field along Highway 330, initially mistaking the body for an animal. The Jane Doe was not facially recognizable, and her left arm was missing. She is thought to have been sexually assaulted, based on the fact she was found wearing only men's socks and the position of her body.

After police released information about her discovery, a witness came forward to state that she might have seen the victim walking on a freeway, which was in close proximity to a restaurant often attended by truckers. This could never be confirmed, however.

The Parabon NanoLabs offered their services in early 2019. They have yet to release the results of their testing. The Jane Doe herself was buried in an unmarked grave; the exact location of her body is unknown. DNA was recovered via hair clippings kept in her evidence file.

Characteristics

The victim had dark brown and with some gray hair, cut in a bobbed style.
She had a homemade tattoo of the name "STEVE" on her upper arm, in poor quality.
She may have given birth in the past.

The victim had no teeth.
