Jane Doe Was Found In A Detroit Alleyway In 1967
When the unidentified are found without information about their person, experts do their best to provide educated guesses regarding the victim’s physical appearance. Height, weight, ethnic background, and other details are compiled to help figure out who the unidentified person may be. For decades, investigators have hoped someone would provide information about Jane Doe Detroit, but since 1967, they have come up empty.
Unfortunately, many Does go unclaimed, such as a young woman found in Detroit. On September 30 that year, a woman was reportedly located in an alleyway behind 3613 Liddesdale Street. Her death was listed as a homicide. However, her cause of death has not been made public.
