Arroyo Grande Jane Doe

At approximately 9:20 PM, October 5, 1980, a white female between fourteen and twenty-five (most likely younger than nineteen) was found with blunt trauma and stab wounds on her head and back, respectively. The body was discovered by two men driving on a dirt road, one of which was an off duty police officer. Examiners determined that the blade of the weapon used to stab the victim was around three inches long. Her unclothed body was found next to a road in Henderson, Clark County, Nevada. Her hair, being brown, red or strawberry blond, was shoulder-length and she stood around five feet two inches and weighed 103 to 110 pounds. She still had wisdom teeth as well as a gap visible between two teeth on her upper right set; she also wore earrings and painted her nails silver. Her eyes were a hazel-blue (some sources state "green") and a presumably amateur tattoo of an 'S' was on one of the arms. She was deceased likely a day before she was discovered. The officer that discovered her body, who was off-duty at the time, donated money for the victim's burial and regularly visits the site with his wife and donates flowers in memory of the victim. In 2003, her body was exhumed when authorities followed clues to a missing girl from California, who was eventually ruled out by DNA. The body was exhumed in 2002 and 2009 as well. In June 2015, "Arroyo Grande" Jane Doe's case was officially reopened by investigators.
