Baldock Jane Doe, also known as "The Girl in the Afghan Coat", was a young woman who died after being hit by multiple vehicles near Baldock, Hertfordshire County, England on 18 February 1975.
Case[]
The decedent was killed at approximately 6:15 a.m. on a Tuesday. At the time of her death, she was wearing no shoes and was carrying no I.D. She had been last seen alive at 5:30 a.m. that day near the area where she was killed. Jane Doe had told the witness that she planned to hitchhike to London and spoke with a foreign accent.
2010 developments[]
In 2010, artists at Dundee University created a facial reconstruction of the woman. An appeal was made to the public, and the new reconstruction would be circulated throughout several newspapers. Following the appeal, a couple named David and Barbara Liversedge came forward to authorities with a large amount of information. The couple claimed they met the decedent in 1972 and had lived with her in Bedfordshire for six months. The woman, believed to have been in her early 20s, told the couple that her name was Odile Ludic[1] and that she was from either north Paris or north of Paris. During the six months, Odile often spoke fondly of her mother and sister but never mentioned her father. The woman had several friends and a boyfriend with whom she spent a lot of time hanging out with. She also worked in a packaging company. Odile would eventually leave Bedfordshire and later moved to Cambridge. The tip has failed to help authorities, but the case is still being investigated.
