Biddeford Jane Doe 2009

Description: 

On July 25, 2009, a human skull was found on a beach in Biddeford, Maine. The skull was found wrapped in seaweed near some beachgrass, approximately 10-15 feet away from the tideline. A forensic analysis indicated that the skull had been in the ocean for 12-18 months before it was discovered.

It was later determined that the skull belonged to a young female, who was 13-21 years old at the time of her death. Furthermore, recent DNA testing has revealed that she was Hispanic. It’s estimated that she died 1-10 years before her skull was found in 2009.
