Baker Jane Doe was a woman whose partial skeletal remains were found in the desert in Baker, California on September 11, 1982. Her dental x-rays and DNA are available for comparison.
Henry Lee Lucas and Ottis Toole confessed to killing this victim in 1983 after the latter was convicted of killing Becky Powell and Kate Rich. While in custody, Lucas and Toole confessed to killing over a hundred people with the Lucas Task Force, headed by the Texas Rangers, and closing 213 murder cases. However, it was eventually determined that Lucas had falsely confessed to most of the cases, with authorities greatly enabling him by bribing him with privileges or letting him read cold case files to confess. Later, Lucas would recant all of his confessions, including this one. Eventually, he was convicted of eleven murders and suspected of more and died on March 12, 2001.
