Our Jane Doe was found in 1981. There was some belief among local investigators that she could be a victim of a serial killer. The city of Englewood has its own Jane Doe, an unidentified Caucasian female. She was discovered Aug. 10, 1987, in a ditch on Hoke Road off Interstate 70.

The cause of death was strangulation. She was discovered approximately 14 hours after her homicide took place. The task force came up with at least two suspects, both later cleared. There are three Web sites on which Miami County's Jane Doe is listed: www.doenetwork.org; www.miamicountydoe.mainpage www.nmvo.org. Sheriff's Detective Lee McCartney is working on the case.

"We want to identify her so that we can return her to her family," Miami County Sheriff Charles Cox said. "We have submitted her fingerprints to the national system of fingerprints with no match." But, said Cox, missing fingerprints are constantly being put into the system from years ago.

"We cross our fingers and hope one day we'll get the hit on the fingerprints." The television show Unsolved Mysteries featured her picture in 1991, but the flood of clues didn't arrive as hoped. Efforts to put her picture on Americas Most Wanted generated no interest from the show's producers. In March 1991, the Ohio attorney general's office set up a task force to investigate slayings of at least 11 women whose bodies had been dumped along highways in four states, including Ohio, between 1985 and 1990. Authorities said most of the slain women were known or suspected prostitutes who frequent dence on Greenlee Road when he spotted what appeared to be clothing on the side of the road. He slowed down and saw the body in the ditch.

She appeared to be in her late teens to mid-20s. She had reddish-brown hair, plaited into thick pigtails. Her complexion was freckled and ruddy.

She was wearing a brown and orange turtleneck sweater, blue jeans and a very distinctive fringed buckskin, shirt-type suede jacket with a purple satin lining. The cause of death was strangulation. She also had suffered a blow to the head. On Sept. 1, 1981, our Jane Doe was buried in a cheap, cloth-covered casket in the potter's field at Riverside Cemetery in Troy at the county's expense.

Miami County deputies and detectives served as her pallbearers. Today, a small tombstone marks her grave.

It's a sto-rv that has haunted me since April 24, 1981. That was the day the body of a woman was found in a ditch along Greenlee Road off Horseshoe Bend Road, west of Troy.
