"Horseshoe Harriet"

The remains of this victim, also known as Jane Doe #3, was discovered on April 25, 1984 (although her grave reads April 24) near Horseshoe Lake in Palmer, Matanuska Susitna Borough, Alaska. Like Eklutna Annie, this female is suspected to be a victim of Robert Hansen, who had led police to the location of her body. She was likely in her late teens when she was murdered. Her remains were exhumed in 2014 for additional forensic information, such as DNA information that was eventually completed by the University of Texas. With her remains, a scarf, coat, bra, tennis shoes, a sweater, jeans, socks, a nylon and leg warmers were found. Additional items found with the body were cigarettes, a comb, compact and condoms, indicating she may have been a prostitute. Horseshoe Harriet was between five feet two inches and five feet six inches tall when she was alive. The girl was stabbed and shot. Horseshoe Harriet's face is currently being reconstructed by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, a process which began around the time she was exhumed, although the state of her remains would prove difficult to work with.
