Milwaukee County Jane Doe

In early 1982, the unidentified body of an attractive African-American female was located, floating in a river in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She was well-dressed and between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five.

Foul play is not suspected in this case, as the cause of this young woman's death is unknown. I believe she may have accidentally fallen into the river and drowned. She was five feet four inches with kinky hair and had a large amount of dental work. She may have died between one week to three months, although her body was well-preserved due to the cold water.

The girl had some sort of surgery done on her abdomen, although some reports claim that there were no organs missing. Nobody knows why this mystery surgery was performed, although she may have had an appendectomy. Her nails were well cared for and her ears were pierced, although she did not wear earrings at the time of her death. Other scars found on the body were on her ankle and on her arm.

If you have information about this person, please contact the Milwaukee Medical Examiner at 414-223-1200 or send an email to jenni.penn@milwcnty.com
