This individual was recently confirmed to have been identified. Some details may change as more information is released publicly.
Tammy Corrine Terrell (July 4, 1963 - October 5, 1980), previously known as "Arroyo Grande Jane Doe", was a female found murdered in 1980 in Henderson, Nevada.
She underwent genetic genealogy research by Barbara Rae-Venter and her identity was announced at a press conference on December 2, 2021.
Case
Tammy was last seen on September 28, 1980 at the Roswell State Fair in Roswell, New Mexico in the company of a man and woman.
On October 5, 1980, her naked body was found face-down near Arroyo Grande Road in Henderson, Nevada. The victim's death was a homicide, as she had been hit in the back of the head with a blunt object, beaten in the face and had been stabbed multiple times in the back and head. She had died hours earlier, and there was no evidence of a sexual assault, though she was found nude. 27 women have been ruled out as being the decedent.
The body had apparently been washed and a piece of the shower curtain was found near her body.
She was exhumed in late 2016 for additional testing.
Characteristics
- Light brownish-blonde, 11-inch hair.
- Her eyes are commonly listed as blue but could have been green or hazel.
- A recent tattoo of the letter "S" on her right forearm.
- Noticeable gap in her teeth (this may have occurred post or peri-mortem).
- One tooth had a suture, a technique used to straighten a tooth.
- Vaccination scar on her left bicep.
- Her wisdom teeth were impacted.
- Birthmark on her lower back.
