Jane Doe information expected to be released today
We’re expecting more information from Vernon County today, about possible new leads in a ‘Jane Doe’ murder investigation from the 1980’s. An unidentified woman was murdered in May of 1984, and her body was discovered along a road in Vernon County. Her hands had been cut off, presumably to prevent police from identifying her through fingerprints. This week, the woman’s body was removed from a cemetery, so the state crime lab could use DNA testing to help determine her identity.
