Harris County Jane Doe was a woman found murdered under a bridge in Houston, Texas, in 1980.

Case[]

The victim was found hours after she died. She was suspected to have been a sex worker, and potentially a victim in a span of serial murders that occurred throughout Texas during the 1980s. Most of the victims were "high risk", and there are thought to have been around two dozen victims killed between 1980 and 1981.

In 2017, a theory came to light that her death may be related to two other victims; Sherri Jarvis and Harris County Jane Doe (October 1980). Each victim had been strangled and left along Interstate 45 after being sexually assaulted.

Characteristics[]

  • Black hair in cornrows and pigtails.
  • Brown eyes.
  • Multiple scars on left wrist.
  • Possible nail-biter.
  • Upper left incisor was chipped.

Clothing and accessories[]

  • Pink pantsuit with a vest.
  • Four bracelets, at least one with pendants.
  • Two necklaces.
    • One with a pendant shaped like a dog tag with a script.
    • The other was made up of light blue beads.
