Unidentified Female


The victim was discovered on June 1, 1987 in Knox County, Tennessee


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Case History
The victim was killed by a shotgun on Jim Sterchi Road in North Knox County in 1987. Authorities speculated at the time that the unidentified woman and two male accomplices were attempting to trick and rob the resident on Jim Sterchi Road by faking a fight outside her front door.
The woman kicked the door, awakening the resident and a visitor. The resident called police and fired one shot from a shotgun when the woman attempted to open a screen door.
The two men were caught. But they were unable to identify the woman. They said they had picked her up at a Greene County rest stop just before the shooting.
She remains unidentified.

Police revive cold-case investigating
By Matt Lakin
Tuesday, March 11, 2008

Some cases wrap up the same day.

Others drag on - sometimes for decades.

Unsolved killings can mean years of grief and questions for families and investigators alike.

"They're something you carry with you," Knoxville Police Department Sgt. Tim Snoderly said. "I've got two, and I can still recall all the details on them. They bother you, and they linger with you."

About 14 percent of homicides in Knoxville since 2000 remain unsolved, statistics indicate, and about 7 percent in Knox County, which sees about a fourth as many killings. Experts call both solvability rates above average, compared to law enforcement agencies nationwide.

"The average clearance rate for homicides used to be nine out of 10," said Kenna Quinet, a professor of criminal justice at Indiana University-Purdue University in Indianapolis. "Now it's closer to six out of 10. Most of the time the clearance rate is higher in smaller cities and counties. It's harder to hide there."

One victim might not have a single known enemy. Another might have too many.

Sometimes the physical evidence comes up short. Sometimes witnesses won't talk, particularly in gang-related killings. A witness who's homeless might vanish for years at a time.

"It doesn't matter what the rumor is or what you tell your next-door neighbor," Snoderly said. "It's what you tell us and what we can prove in court."


Science and street smarts

Snoderly just last year helped crack the killing of a homeless man that went unsolved for 13 years.

Police found Richard Allen Sweat, 46, beaten to death Feb. 24, 1994, under a viaduct on Woodland Avenue in Northwest Knoxville. A tip led Snoderly to Ronald E. Greene, jailed in neighboring Union County on charges of breaking into a store and stealing beer.

Police say Greene admitted to killing Sweat for flirting with his girlfriend and drinking all their alcohol. He faces a charge of second-degree murder.

"It matched up perfectly," Snoderly said. "He even told us about the kind of graffiti on the wall and what he killed him with. He said he just wanted to get some stuff off his chest."

Advances in forensic technology such as DNA testing have helped thaw cold cases around the country in recent years. The technology led to an arrest last year in the killing of Johnia Berry, a 21-year-old East Tennessee State University graduate stabbed to death in her West Knox County apartment in 2004.

But police say a test tube still can't replace old-fashioned detective work.

"It used to be that you just about had to have a quart jar of material to get enough DNA for testing," said Bobby Waggoner, KCSO chief of detectives. "Now you just need a speck. But when you get that speck, you've still got to put the old feet on the ground and find out who that DNA belongs to."


Keeping cold cases hot

Knoxville police created a Cold Case Team in 2000 to keep older investigations from falling through the cracks. The team broke up as its members retired or left for other jobs. One former member, Jimmy "J.J." Jones, now serves as Knox County sheriff.

KPD Lt. Doug Stiles, commander of the Major Crimes Unit, said the department has applied for a grant to revive the program by recruiting retired investigators. He, Snoderly and Sgt. Tom Walker are reviewing some case files now, looking for evidence that could be retested.

"We never give up on them," Stiles said. "Every one of these that I pick up, I know the detectives who worked it. I still reach out and call them, and they still remember. They want to solve them as much as anybody else."

Waggoner said he's working with the sheriff to set up a similar cold case team for the county. The team would probe cases dating back to the 1980s, including trying to identify the "shotgun female," a woman killed June 1, 1987, while trying to break into a home on Jim Sterchi Road in North Knox County.

"We've never been able to identify her," Waggoner said. "Just because she committed a crime, that doesn't mean some family's not out there trying to ID their missing girl. We're going to solve all these cases we can."

Unclaimed, unnamed
Law enforcement agencies face startling numbers and staggering odds to identify young female 'Jane Does'
ANSLEY HAMAN, hamana@knews.com
Sunday, May 20, 2007

JELLICO, Tenn. - Nameless and faceless, her decomposing body appeared in Detective Eddie Barton's mind each time he drove along Stinking Creek Road.
He'd tick off the details to himself: Black female younger than 40. No scars. No tattoos.

One gunshot wound to the head. Stab wounds. A discolored line about the width of a wedding band on one finger.

Found Oct. 25, 1998, by a man collecting soda cans.

That's all Barton, now retired, knew about her. That's all Campbell County Sheriff's Department detectives know today.

But they haven't forgotten the woman now buried in a Campbell County graveyard marked "Unknown."

Referred to by investigators as "Jane Doe No. 2," she is one of the untold unidentified and unclaimed bodies found by law enforcement agencies in Tennessee.

Some are murder victims. Some appear to be homeless. Most turn out to be from out of town.

At least 15 of those men and women found over the past three decades in East Tennessee remain unidentified. The bodies are in graves, morgues and at the University of Tennessee Forensic Anthropology Center.

Nobody, including the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, keeps an official, exact number. No central database exists. The state doesn't require agencies to report missing adults and unidentified remains.

When the unidentified bodies at UT are added to those buried or cremated by local agencies, there may be more than 100 Tennessee cases.

"It's very startling, if you do a graph of this: You've got lots and lots of young females," said Lee Meadows Jantz, coordinator of the UT Forensic Anthropology Center, of data entered into the FBI's National Crime Information Center, or NCIC.

Young males are more frequently killed in acts of violence, such as street fighting. Those bodies are generally fresh and more easily identifiable, Jantz said.

Often victims of abduction, dead females are hidden or left to the elements, she said. Then they decompose and become difficult to identify. Older men, many of whom are transient, also appear in unidentified body lists.

Local agencies often fend for themselves in identifying the dead. Most area police departments don't have a homicide squad or cold case unit. And there is little interagency communication, Barton said.

Though police officers work diligently for the first few months on a case, a lack of leads usually makes a Doe secondary to other investigations, authorities said.

Family members of a missing adult sometimes call to inquire about a possible match. Volunteer Web sleuths also try to make connections. Forensic anthropologists and artists volunteer their expertise.

But making the pieces fit takes time, said Oak Ridge Police Department Detective Sgt. Louis Leopper.

Years after his retirement, Barton still carries a folder filled with tips, exhausted leads and communications about his old, unidentified cases.

"These cases, they're like a cancer kind of eating at you," he said.

Following are stories of some of East Tennessee's unclaimed dead.


Five Jane Does in Campbell County It's been almost a decade without any breaks in the case of Campbell County's Jane Doe No. 2.

Where to start?

How about a name.

"You have to have an identity to have a starting point," Barton said. "Unless you have somebody with a conscience walk in there."

After she was found, Barton and his coworkers drafted fliers and sent them to other law enforcement agencies, organized a facial reconstruction, voluntarily entered her information into NCIC and listed the body on nonprofit Web sites that seek to match those known to be missing with unidentified bodies.

Family members of missing black women called. Web sleuths offered possible matches. Officers investigated the potential identities.

None matched.

No. 2's file is not the only one Barton keeps.

Since the mid-1980s, at least five unidentified females have been found in the county of about 40,000 residents. Many were found along I-75 between Jellico and Caryville, an isolated stretch of road.

One, a young redhead, was found in the mid-1980s along a straightaway. The bones of a girl also were unearthed in 1985.

Barton keeps records on another woman once known as "Jane Doe No. 1." More than 10 years ago she was found strangled, stabbed and dumped on an I-75 exit ramp

A nonprofit group, the Doe Network, put Campbell authorities in touch with their counterparts in El Paso, Texas. In March the woman was identified as Ada Elena Torres Smith.

Finding her identity broke the Smith case open again, said Capt. Don Farmer with the Campbell County Sheriff's Office.

Farmer and Barton think the murders of Smith and Jane Doe No. 2 may be connected. They were found a little more than a mile apart near Stinking Creek Road in consecutive years.


'Lady of the Lake' About two miles downstream from Clark Center Park on Melton Hill Lake, two fishermen found a woman's body floating beneath an undercut bank on March 6, 2000.

Leopper, of the Oak Ridge Police Department, calls the woman estimated to be in her 20s the "Lady of the Lake."

She drowned.

Leopper believes it was murder.

He has a theory about how it happened.

He thinks the woman, who stood about 5 feet, 9 inches, may have frequented truck stops. Dental records showed she may have worn braces and frequented a dentist.

Leopper believes she "was picked up or abducted by a local individual."

She may have then been drowned in Melton Hill Lake. Police believe her body was underwater for a few weeks before the fishermen found her.

But there is no way to know for sure until someone comes forward with evidence or officers make a positive ID.

Her dental records and fingerprints may help give her a name, Leopper said. The details are in the NCIC database, but that does not ensure she will be matched with a missing adult. It takes time and narrow search criteria.

"Until you hit that right keystroke, you'll never know who that person is," Leopper said.


Mile marker 44 Detective Capt. John Huffine of the Greene County Sheriff's Department is waiting for an NCIC entry to produce a fruitful lead on an unidentified body dumped more than 20 years ago along Interstate 81. She was left at mile marker 44.

TBI assisted with the 1985 case. The girl, estimated to be in her teens, was four to six weeks pregnant. Her hair was tinted red.

She died of head trauma.

Her naked body was found about the same time as the red-haired Campbell County Jane Doe. Some thought their cases might be connected, but the ties were never proven. Neither has been identified.

Huffine was a senior in high school when authorities began the investigation, but he's worked during his tenure to spread the word about the case.

The girl's dental record is in NCIC, her information is listed on nonprofit Web sites, and Huffine presented the case to the Regional Organized Crime Information Center, which connects participating local agencies.

"It's not as frustrating as if it had been a local homicide," Huffine said. "It's a homicide that happened somewhere else."

She may have been a runaway or someone estranged from her family, he said.

"Nobody's reported her," he said. "Otherwise, she would have been identified."


Under the tramway She may have walked out beneath Gatlinburg's Aerial Tramway, taken a seat beneath a tree and passed out. About a month later her decomposing body was found by someone taking a shortcut to a Cove Mountain chalet.

"It appears that she sat down next to a tree and just expired," said Detective Tim Williams of the Gatlinburg Police Department.

Since Dec. 22, 1974, authorities have been chasing leads on the identity of the woman who stood 5 feet, 7 inches and weighed about 140 pounds.

There was no evidence of trauma, he said. Her sweater and coat were folded neatly next to her.

She wore dark blue, Mayer-Land-Marquis pants (size extra-large) and a white, short-sleeved shirt with a yellow flower print.

Officers never found a purse or a wallet that could have held a driver's license or a library card with her name.

Though no fingerprints could be taken from her badly decomposed body, the department worked hard on the case at the time, keeping good records, Williams said.

"When this was new, there was a lot of effort put into it," he said.

The department entered the details into NCIC and chased numerous leads.

"We go for years with nothing, and then we'll get leads all at one time," he said.

He's had about four tips in the 10 years he's been a detective.

"Prior to that, there were dozens of eliminations," he said.


'Shotgun female' Around 2:30 a.m. June 1, 1987, a 12-gauge shotgun slug blew through the front door of a North Knox County home, ripping the face off a woman raising a ruckus on the porch.

Knox County Sheriff's Office authorities speculated at the time that the unidentified woman and two male accomplices were attempting to trick and rob the resident on Jim Sterchi Road by faking a fight outside her front door.

The woman kicked the door, awakening the resident and a visitor. The resident called police and fired one shot from a shotgun when the woman attempted to open a screen door.

The two men were caught. But they were unable to identify the woman. They said they had picked her up at a Greene County rest stop just before the shooting.

Jantz, of the UT Forensic Anthropology Center, said she and her colleagues dubbed the dead woman "Shotgun Female."

The case is archived in Sheriff's Office records, and spokeswoman Martha Dooley said the department follows up on all leads on the woman's identity.

A UT forensic anthropology student generated a computer reconstruction of the woman in the early 1990s.

'Jane Doe' from 1987 is still a mystery
1987 victim one of thousands unidentified
By Jim Balloch
Posted November 29, 2009 at midnight

Ghostly and angular, the image of the young woman's face has haunted Knox County Sheriff's Office detectives for more than 22 years.

There is a slight, quizzical tilt to her head. Her eyes are level and hard, fixed forever in a wary gaze. Her look is of one who has taken plenty of hard knocks and expects more to come.

In the early morning hours of June 1, 1987, at a North Knox County home, her life ended with a 12-gauge shotgun blast to the head.

"There wasn't any ID on her of any kind," said Sgt. Perry Moyers of KCSO's Cold Case Squad. "Not even a wallet. No clues. There was just nothing."

It is just one of thousands of cases of unidentified bodies from around the country. No one knows for sure how many there are.

The FBI's National Crime Information Center lists 7,212 such cumulative cases, including 62 from Tennessee. But NCIC accepts reports only from law enforcement agencies. Medical examiners, coroners and other sources are excluded.

Researchers and criminologists say the actual number is much higher. A U.S. Justice Department study found an average of 4,400 unidentified human bodies reported each year, of which about 1,000 remain unidentified a year after being found.

"My personal opinion is that the real number is in excess of 60,000," said George Adams, program coordinator for the Center for Human Identification, the world-renowned DNA forensics lab at the University of North Texas. "When I call agencies relative to a case and ask how many unidentified remains they have, the number seems to go up."

Undoubtedly, some of those are of people who have been reported missing, but remain unidentified because police do not have enough clues to connect the body to a missing person case.

"We don't know what proportion of (eventually unidentified remains) were missing persons," said Dr. Kenna Quinet, a professor of criminal justice at Indiana University and Purdue University.

But thousands of missing or lost persons are never reported missing, especially if they are on the margins of society - prostitutes, transients, drug addicts, gay hustlers and mentally ill or homeless persons.

"We cannot expect the police to look for victims whose families never even reported them missing," Quinet said.

Quinet refers to this population as: "the missing missing."

"We don't have a good handle on this situation at all," said Libba Phillips, founder of the Florida-based Outpost For Hope, an organization dedicated to raising public awareness about that category of cases.

"There are just too many cracks in the system for these people to fall through," she said - including an occasional reluctance or refusal by a police agency to accept a missing persons report.

Phillips has coined a term for "missing missing" children and teenagers, including runaways whose indifferent parents or guardians do not bother to report them missing: "kids off the grid."

"They are the most vulnerable of these cases, and the most hidden group of missing or lost children," Phillips said.

Quinet, Adams and others agree that such people are often the victims of serial killers, some of whom delay or avoid arrest by preying on people who are not likely to be missed. Most of "Green River Killer" Gary Leon Ridgway's dozens of victims were street prostitutes.

"I knew they would not be reported missing right away, and might never be," he said after he was caught. "I picked them because I thought I could kill as many as I wanted without getting caught."

There is no mystery about where, why or by whom Knox County's "Jane Doe" was killed.

"We know just about everything about this case - except who she is," Moyers said.

It is a case of a choice she made that landed her in the wrong place, with the wrong people, at the wrong time, Moyers said.

She was picked up hitchhiking in Greene County by two men - either at a rest stop or truck stop, depending on which man is telling the story.

"We don't have any idea where she came from," Moyers said. "It could be anywhere."

The men drove her back to their Jim Sterchi Road residence. "Basically, (the men later) admitted they were going to rob a house," Moyers said.

The targeted house was occupied by a 23-year-old woman who had recently been robbed. And she had a 12-gauge shotgun. A friend was staying with her.

Jane Doe and one of the men went to the porch and created a ruckus, Perry said. It appears they were staging a fight to trick the resident into opening the door. The women inside the house were on the telephone with a 911 dispatcher when the ruckus escalated, with loud banging on the door and threats, Moyers said.

The resident fired a 12-gauge shotgun through the door, killing Jane Doe instantly.

The two men fled but were later arrested. The only clue they offered to Jane Doe's identity, Moyers said, was that "Tina" and "Illinois" came up during their conversations.

"But we don't know the context of that, if it means she was Tina from Illinois, or she was going to Illinois to see a Tina, or something else," Moyers said.

Either way, "Tina" does not match with the amateurish tattoo "BH" on her upper left arm.

KCSO has checked her fingerprints in several criminal and civil databases, with no results.

Jane Doe had a blood-alcohol level of 0.13 percent. She was in her mid-20s, just under 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighed between 100 and 120 pounds. She had brown hair, brown eyes.

She wore an aqua-colored Miami Dolphins jersey number 32, light blue pants, tennis shoes and white socks. There was a silver-colored chain bracelet on her left wrist.

She was missing a lower front tooth. Prior injures, according to the autopsy, suggest normal medical issues or accidents, but not abuse, Moyers said she had a crushed vertebrae that likely caused her back pain; healed fractures of the clavicle and right and left tibia bones, with the left tibia secured by a metal pin; a healed fracture of the fibula, secured by a metal plate manufactured by "Synthes."

A horizontal scar on her abdomen suggests pelvic surgery of some sort, possibly an emergency Caesarean section, said Dr. Randy Pedigo, who was Knox County's medical examiner at the time.

"Those injuries, that medical information, will be far more important in identifying her than the (recreated) image of her face," said forensic anthropologist Dr. Emily Craig of the Kentucky State Medical Examiner's Office.

Craig is a former graduate student at the University of Tennessee Forensic Anthropology Center and had a role in developing the computer enhancement of Jane Doe's face.

"Somebody, somewhere, has probably at least wondered what ever happened to her," said Todd Matthews of the Southeast region of the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, or NamUs, a new U.S. Justice Department program designed to facilitate the linkage of unidentified remains cases with missing persons reports.

"But the circumstances of this case certainly make her a good candidate to be one of those 'missing missing.'"

Anyone with relevant information may contact the KCSO Cold Case Squad at coldcase@knoxsheriff.org or Moyers 865-215-3742.

"She's somebody's daughter, and she may be somebody's sister or maybe even somebody's mother," Moyers said. "We would like to get her identified and maybe give closure to a family."

Tenn. police still working mystery of Jane Doe found 22 years ago
By Associated Press
12:41 PM CST, November 29, 2009

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Investigators in eastern Tennessee are still puzzling over the death of a woman found shot to death in a home in Knoxville 22 years ago.

Knox County Sheriff's Sgt. Perry Moyers says the remains had no identification and no clues about who the woman who was killed June 1, 1987.

The Knoxville News-Sentinel reports that the woman is one of 7,212 unidentiifed bodies around the country, including 62 from Tennessee.

The database includes reports submitted only by law enforcement, not medical examiners, coroners and other sources.

Advocates for identifying unknown remains say the actual number of unidentified remains is probably higher, but uncounted in the current system.

(Note -- While this article contains some highly useful new information, I disagree with the headline. The woman was not "murdered" but shot by a frightened homeowner whose house had been invaded before. As far as I know, the homeowner was not charged.)

Testing narrows where unidentified murdered woman may have lived
11:05 AM, Feb 20, 2013

The Smithsonian Institution has already made progress in discovering where an unidentified woman who was killed in Knoxville may have lived.

The woman was shot to death in 1987. She was never identified.

Last month, the Knox County Sheriff's Office announced that they were working with the Smithsonian on scientific testing that could help determine where the woman came from. They are also doing testing on an unidentified man who was also killed in Knox County.

The tests show that the woman likely spent significant time in the central-southeastern United States. Scientists tested a tooth sample, analyzing "stable carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen values in dentin and enamel which represent isotope values incorporated during adolescence." Basically, elements from the environment in which you live can be found in your teeh.

That information shows that the woman may have been from Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, or Florida. The Knox County Sheriff's Office plans to send pictures of the murdered woman to the local police and media in those areas, to see if anyone recognizes her.

Knox County says several strong leads have been generated by the testing, and they are pursuing them now.
