Cuyahoga County Jane Doe (1969) CLEVELAND, OHIO
On Friday, November 14th, 1969, a City of Cleveland Water Dept. crew was cleaning out a sewer in the area of East 9th Street and Erieside Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio, when they discovered the remains of an unidentified female decedent wedged in between pilings in Lake Erie.
The decedent was a White/Caucasian female between the approximate ages of 35 and 45 years old. She was 5 ft 5 in (65 inches) and weighed 201 lbs. The decedent had black shoulder-length hair and brown eyes. She had a ¼ inch circular hyper pigmented area of scarring in the right lower area of her abdomen. The decedent's postmortem interval was a few days. She was described as having a “recognizable face”, with an edited (possibly NSFW) photo available on her NamUs profile. The decedent's cause of death was not stated. 25 women have been ruled out as being the decedent.
When found, the decedent was wearing an aqua-colored dress, a white full-length girdle, brown or black colored loafers, a gold wristwatch on her left wrist, a ring on the ring finger of her right hand and a necklace.
56 years on, this is where the case stands today. Thank you so much for giving the Cuyahoga County Jane Doe (1969) a moment of your day.
