Diana Doe - Who Am I? Do you know?

If you’ve visited this site before and read other narratives, you know that some of these people have little information to provide you with. This time, I’m gonna bet I have the least amount.

If you are here, you know I’m Unidentified. If you looked at my sketch, you know I’m a female. Did you know I was twenty to twenty-five years old, 5'2" with reddish-blond hair? Did you know I had extensive dental work?

On December 4, 1972, they found my human remains. They found them in Prince George County, Maryland near the Baltimore-Washington Parkway.

That’s it. Well of course, it was written somewhere that I probably never had kids. Now why they would write or say that, I have no idea. Either they could tell or they couldn’t. But they say “probably.” This is probably not helpful.

The above, what little I've told you--that’s all there is about me. Yet, I’d sure like my family to know what happened after all these years. Perhaps someone out there who hadn’t seen my sketch before now might be able to tell them who I am. A girl could hope.

HER PROFILE DATA AT A GLANCE: Prince George Maryland Jane Doe December 1972

I have family looking for me. I need to find them!

You can call me Pete, for now. I was killed by a gunshot in 1972. I was found in a gully at 2935 Athel Drive in Hacienda Heights, CA. It was November 5; I believe it was a Sunday. I remember that because, oh darn it, I don’t remember. I guess the gunshot messed my memory up. Look it was a Sunday, and I was killed. I’d sure like to know why, wouldn’t you? More pressing is to find my actual family and finally tell them what happened to me. I believe they are looking for me. It’s been a long time, but they haven’t given up hope that someday they will find me. Let’s help them. Here’s where you come in. See if any of this information below jogs your memory, or send it to someone whose memory might be jogged. I need your help to find my identity. So here we go:

I was a white male, 6'3", and 195 pounds. The coroner states that I had blond hair, yet all the missing people organizations say it was shoulder-length brown hair. No one seems to dispute that I had blue eyes. The coroner said I have a scar on my butt. The missing organizations elaborate and state it was a 4 ½" scar above my tailbone, and that I also had one on my right knee.

I was wearing a pink shirt, along with the best Lennon-like jean jacket with a zipper down front you’ve ever seen. It was FAR OUT you know what I mean man? Blue Levi’s with a flared leg. NCMEC says the jeans had “PEACE” embroidered on the bottom left leg and “LOVE” embroidered on the bottom right leg. I had blue flowered boxer shorts. To top off the look, I was wearing my brown leather boots. Wait there’s more. Remember it was the ’70s man, peace & love not war. I was wearing my white metal band ring, a yellow peace sign earring in my right ear and black rosary beads. I had the looks!

It doesn’t matter if I was hippie, buying or selling drugs, an undercover cop, involved in a love triangle, simply on my way to a party, or if I had just returned to the country after fleeing from service; there was no need to kill me!

It’s your turn now. Can you help solve my mystery? Help me find my identity and reunite me with my family. Please do all you can; I’m counting on you!

Joe "Eyeglass" Doe

Ok, here it is my story, as it’s known thus far:

In late August 1972, on a hot day, my corpse was found in a wooded area with two gunshots to the head. So this wooded area, you see, was located north of Brandon, Oregon, off Highway 101.

Since I was a skeleton when they found me, there seems to be some descriptive information about me missing, like my eye color, hair color, any tattoos I may have had, and my fingerprints. It seems my body was probably dumped/left in the wooded area sometime between 1967 and 1969. That tells you I was probably dead for 3 to 5 years prior to them finding my skeleton.

They guess that I was about 60 to 70 years of age, my height was about 5'8" to 6'0" and I weighed somewhere between 180 and 200 lbs. You are probably wondering how they guessed my weight since I was a skeleton and all, but it turns out they found my belt which was a size 42". That's not all they found. It turns out I had a key ring with the initial R and a car key, gray wool socks with red and green bands, tan leather lace-up work boots with white composition soles that hook at the laces with the label Bilt Rite, Nuron Crepe, Made in the USA.

Here's the biggest clue of all: I had a full set of dentures, engraved with "S1214/66" or "51214/66". If the dentures said S and not 5 it's possible they were made in Seattle by the US Public Health Service Hospital in 1966. Since this hospital was closed, they couldn't verify this. Some other speculation is that I'm military or retired military due to being treated at the US Public Service Hospital. I'm not sure about this. What if the dentures really read 5 or another number that wasn't read at all?

I was pretty old guy by the time I was located. I was found shot in the head. Obviously, at some point in my life, I made an enemy. Oh, it wasn't suicide as no gun was found at the site, only some unspent .22 caliber shells along side three coins. The three coins might be another clue that wasn't considered. Why three coins? Were they in my pocket? Were they a symbol that someone threw on the ground?

I'm sure I had family somewhere at some point. If only they could see the artist rendering of me maybe they would recall. Could I have left my family years prior? Most likely, I wasn't from Oregon. Maybe I just came there to get away from someone or something. My past tells my story. If you know me, you could reveal this mystery.

No matter what I may have done in my life, or whom I may have upset, I don't deserve to go unidentified in my death. Please come forward and tell the authorities what you know and most importantly who I am. Thanks!
