Thanks to modern technology, a new composite sketch of Jane Doe has been created for B.C.’s Missing Women Task Force. Police provided it exclusively to The Vancouver Sun, hoping the image will spark a memory among people who knew the woman when she was alive. Her DNA has also been sent to every police lab in the country for comparison to other unsolved missing women files.
In 2008, Jane Doe’s DNA and the new composite sketch were sent to Interpol, the world’s largest international police organization. It issued a so-called “black notice” on unidentified bodies to its 188 member countries for comparison to unsolved files worldwide. Her skull had been crudely cut in two with a reciprocating saw. The left side has never been located. The lower jaw is also missing.
Then, Adrian approximated what Jane Doe’s nose, mouth and lower jaw would have looked like based on information from experts who had examined the skull over the years. For example, a forensic dentist determined Jane Doe had teeth removed from her upper right jaw at different times before her death, and could not rule out that she may have worn dentures.
A composite sketch of the profile of a woman, known only as Jane Doe, whose partial skull was found near Mission in 1995 but who has never been identified. The National Research Council in Ottawa created a digital computer image of the skull, which a forensic artist used to create this composite.Police now believe it is possible that Jane Doe has never been reported missing.
