"Joanne English" was the alias used by a woman found murdered in Florida.
She is currently undergoing testing by the DNA Doe Project.
Case[]
The victim's body was discovered by a passing motorist off an isolated rural road in Rockledge, Florida on October 11, 1980. She had been shot in the head following a brutal rape and beating.
Authorities learned that she had previously been arrested in Pinellas County, Florida while trying to discover her identity. The name that she gave was "Joanne English", which turned out to be false, along with a false social security number and date of birth. She had been living in the Clearwater area of Florida.
Her DNA admixture indicates she was primarily of Sub Saharan African descent and her ancestors have been traced to the region of Anson County, North Carolina.
Characteristics[]
- Reddish-brown with black roots, indicating she colored her hair.
