Loudoun County Jane Doe was a teenage girl or a young woman who was located one mile south of Hillsboro, Virginia on December 16, 1961.
Case[]
The victim was discovered off the side of a rural highway in honeysuckle bush in a ditch by two county sheriff's deputies at 3:48 a.m. Her back, sides, and legs were badly marked and scarred, which indicated she was beaten badly. The autopsy confirmed her cause of death being subdural hematoma and a brain hemorrhage. She is believed to have been dead for at least two hours.
Although Commonwealths' Attorney Stirling Harrison indicated to the press that the victim's killer was "unquestionably" a sex fiend, Dr. Earl Vitts, the deputy county medical examiner indicated there was no evidence of sexual molestation. Additionally, State police investigator C.L. Wood indicated that the victim was likely thrown off from a car into the ditch.
Her fingerprints were taken at the time and sent to the FBI, who found no matching comparisons. Authorities also spoke to law enforcement agencies in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C., but apparently nothing came about these inquiries. It is not currently stated if her dental x-rays or her DNA has been recorded.
