Can you help solve the cold case of this Jane Doe?
It has been 15 years since her remains were found outside of Rockwood, and police are still looking to find out who she was.
On Aug. 28, 2005, the remains of a white woman, aged between 25 and 45 years old were found in a wooded area near a picnic and rest area on Highway 7, between Rockwood and Guelph.
According to a news release from the OPP, it is believed the woman was dragged into the wooded area about a month before she was discovered, with a Woods brand sleeping bag placed over her.
The deceased was approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighed about 130 pounds and had light brown hair. The autopsy revealed that she had no recent injuries, but had experienced a broken left cheek, nose and left eye socket some time in her past. These injuries had since healed," a news release from the OPP's Criminal Investigation Branch reads.
As a result of these injuries, the deceased lost two upper teeth on the left front and wore a two-tooth, partial plate. These injuries would have left her with a visible facial deformity. No personal jewelry or identification was found with the deceased. The clothing she was wearing at the time was purchased in the Montreal area."
"We strongly believe there are people who know what happened to the victim in this case, but have yet to come forward with that information," Det. Insp. Randy Gaynor with the West Region OPP Criminal Investigation Branch states in the release.
If a member of the public has any information, no matter how small, that could be the difference in bringing this case to a resolution. The OPP never closes an unsolved homicide. An investigator is always assigned and the file is considered active until it is resolved. Our investigators will follow all leads and tips and make use of all information put forward on any case."
Anyone with information on this investigation is asked to contact the OPP, your local police service, or Crime Stoppers.
