Jane Doe Case Unsolved Since 40 Years
This murder in Chautauqua County, New York, remains unsolved despite there being a photograph of the woman. It has been around 40 years.
Body In Ditch, Lying In A Pool Of Blood
The tragedy is that we still don’t know the woman’s name. That is why we refer to her as Jane Doe. She was murdered along Old Rt 17 in the Town of Ellery in 1983.
On December 6, a truck driver was out and about at the crack of dawn. It was an average day for him: little did he imagine the scary twist it would take. While driving down Old Rt 17, he noticed something strange. He saw a limp figure from afar, and believing it to be someone injured, he immediately stopped the truck. The truth was much more gruesome.
A woman’s body lay dead in a ditch. She was wearing almost no clothes, and blood pooled around her. Hers had not been a gentle death. Alarmed, the driver immediately contacted the police. They rushed to the scene, eager to solve the case. At the time, they didn’t know that this case would go down in history as one of the rare unsolved mysteries of Chautauqua county.
