Jane Riverside Doe 1975

Description: 

On October 24, 1975, the remains of a young Black woman were discovered wrapped in a blanket in a drainage canal in Riverside, California. She was fully dressed, wearing jeans, a blue t-shirt with a red and green logo, a silver bracelet with a brown stone, and a silver ring in the shape of a rose with two clear stones. Authorities estimate she had been dead for about a day. She was about 5’8” tall, and 135 pounds. While she had no discernible injury to her body, the circumstances of the recovery of her remains indicate foul play.
