** Taken from article... http://www.fortwayne.com/mld/fortwayne/new...al/14634234.htm

It’s the spring of 1992, and a contractor renovating a house on Reynolds Street makes a gruesome discovery in the basement: a pink tennis shoe containing a human ankle bone.

Eventually, the rest of what remains of the 20- to 25-year-old white woman with blond or light brown hair is removed, but by then it is mostly just bones and a few personal effects.

Likely homeless, it appears the woman, dubbed Mary Jane Doe, had made a makeshift bed and was trying to keep warm by wrapping in a furniture cover. There are no signs of foul play or wounds, just a cold, quiet end to a life somehow gone awry.

She is wearing a light blue or gray jacket, a knit striped shirt and a gold chain necklace with three stars. For then-coroner Dr. Phillip E. O’Shaughnessy, it is the first unidentified body he has had to bury in 18 years in the office. Seven people attend her graveside service in Lindenwood Cemetery – five are cemetery workers, one was the minister and one drove the hearse.

Only after the last tree has been
cut down;
Only after the last fish has been
caught;
Only after the last river has been
poisoned;
Only then will you realize
that money cannot be eaten.
