Cleveland County Jane Doe
On August 31st, 2008, would-be fishermen walking along the banks of Lake Thunderbird in Oklahoma came across the body of a woman in a shallow grave.
She was estimated to be 30-45 year old, approximately 5′ 4″ tall, and whose weight could not be determined. It is reported that she’d probably been deceased for a year prior to her discovery; so it is perhaps not surprising that her body was not recognizable, and not all of her limbs were found. What is surprising, given the state of decomposition, is that a large, full-color sun/moon tattoo (describes as a “sunburst” in the case report) on her lower back was intact.
Other items of note about the body: the medical examiner determined that she had likely given birth; she had a healed fracture of her frontal bone and also had spinal fusion surgery at some point in her life.
Her NAMUS ID number is 6727, and her OK OCME ID number is 0803375. There is a facial reconstruction, and they do have dental and DNA for her. There have been twenty rule outs thus far. In the above linked article, a commenter posted a possible match that has not yet been ruled out and seems like a very good possibility, but there are few details in that woman’s case.
