St Louis Jane Doe - The Case That Haunts

Found February 28, 1983, in St. Louis, Jane Doe is still unknown in 2009. This cold case is still open, but the fact that her head was never found has confounded the investigation. In memory of a young black girl that we know only as JANE DOE - JUSTICE will come someday, LITTLE BABY ... With LOVE from KWH
2010 CASE UPDATE - In late 2009, Jane Doe was planned to be exhumed and to be reburied in The Garden of the Innocents at Calvary Cemetery. However, it was found that the burial plot marked by her tombstone contained the remains from a different individual. At this date (June, 2010), the plans are on hold. -- KWH

I grew up right around the corner from where this little girl was found and my friends and I used to have to walk past the building everyday to get to school. It was a scary time for all of us and a time I would NOT forget. I was 7 years old when she was found.

@Mackatron Thanks for your comment. I know it must have been a traumatic experience. Even though the building is gone now, it is still there in the minds of those who know about the tragedy -- constantly mocking them ----- If you know of the burial plot, I would like to get it from you. I was not able to locate it when I visited in 2009. - KWH

It is thought that maybe her marker was placed on the wrong grave by mistake. -- At this date , the plans are on hold. -- KWH

Could her DNA, from the blood on the sweater be put into a data base of convicted felines? At least a relative may be found and offered some kind of deal for co-operation. Let's face the truth, her family was definitely involved somehow!

Even without a face this baby will be remembered. R.I.P little one.

I agree with the title; this case truly IS the one that haunts. Her body was found two days before I was born (I was born in 1983 on March 2), and I think it is so sad that 27 years later, nobody knows who she is. This was the first time I ever saw actual pictures of the body and now this is even more disturbing to me. I truly hope her identity is found one day.

@kwhudson2 Thanks for replying. My parents still live around that area on the 5800 block of Enright (which is one block south of Clemens). We lived on the 5700 block of Enright back in those days and I had many friends on the 5600 block of Clemens. I posted this video (along with the Riverfront Times article) on my facebook page and many on my friends from the old neighborhood expressed hom much this story disturbed them. I'll let you know if I find out anything about the burial plot.

I liked the background music. I think the family may know more about what happened and are afraid to come forward.

[randomgirlb3]

if no one came to claim that poor baby's body i reckon that she was

a) an orphan with no other family connections

b) an abused child whos parents and/or family didnt care or

c) a foster child who ran awaybut the care home didnt care

lets just pray that one day she will finnally have a name in the hope that some one cares enough to come forward to givethis bab y justice x god bless your soul rip little angel x

[threadbarecomedy]

What a horrible story. I can only pray that someday, justice will be served. Hopefully the poor little girl has found peace in a safer place.
