Murder of Randi Boothe-Wilson

Randi Stacey Boothe-Wilson, formerly known as Jacksonville Jane Doe and Jane Doe 95-7000 was a formerly unidentified murder victim discovered in Jacksonville, Onslow County, North Carolina on December 6, 1995. Disappearance: Boothe-Wilson, a mother of three, was last seen in Greenburgh, New York on October 26, 1994. Her empty vehicle was found a few days after she disappeared while planning to drive to Queens to visit her sister. Her estranged husband, who was in the area the day she vanished had previously received a call from Boothe-Wilson asking for a ride. Letters to her children were discovered that indicated she planned on leaving them. Her credit cards were later mailed to her husband. Discovery: The body was found in a field in Jacksonville, North Carolina. The remains were believed to have been disposed around two years before. She stood at approximately between 5'5" and 5'8" tall and her weight could not be estimated due to the condition of her body. The victim's age range was estimated to have been between the early and late 30s, although The Doe Network reports that the age range was as large as 25 to 40. She was thought to be a white woman, despite that she was black. Near the skeleton was a strand of reddish hair that may have belonged to her. She had various evidence of dental work on her teeth, although some had protruded from her mouth. Examination of her body also indicated she had a divided rib. Items such as a Nike shoe, gold jewelry, hoop earrings, red, black and yellow clothing, a hotel key, and subway tokens were also present at the scene. No evidence of foul play was found on her bones, although it is believed that she was murdered. Investigation: The case remaiains unsolved, although in 2012 police had a suspect in Matt Adler, who had a possible connection with her death. He was imprisoned in 1995 for the rape and murder of Lisa Gipson. In 2013, he pleaded guilty to the murder of Wanda Musk. He currently is serving a life sentence for his crimes. The Jane Doe's case was featured on the website for America's Most Wanted but did not lead to her identification. Her face was reconstructed, in 2D as well as 3D, as an attempt to show what she may have looked like when she was alive. It was announced in February 2019 that the remains were identified as Boothe-Wilson after DNA was matched between the unidentified remains and her DNA profile in January.
