FOND DU LAC, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — There are new developments in the discovery of an unidentified person’s body in Fond du Lac County 13 years ago.
Sheriff’s officials have called a news conference for Tuesday morning to release the latest details. The news conference announcement says there is “an investigatory connection to the Milwaukee area.”
“Jane Doe” was discovered in a shallow creek on Nov. 23, 2008. She was buried in a public ceremony in 2011.
In 2018, her body was exhumed, and laboratory testing provided clues about her background and where she may have come from.
The analysis, which tested the isotopes of environments absorbed in the body, showed “Jane Doe” lived in the region spanning from Las Cruces and Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Flagstaff, Arizona, for the majority of her life.
The tests also showed she likely resided in the regions of southwest Wisconsin, southern Minnesota and northern Iowa for less than year before her death.
Jane Doe’s DNA was also entered into the National DNA Database and her dental records are on file.
At the time of Jane Doe’s death, investigators describe her as a petite female, approximately 15-21 years old, around 5 feet tall and weighing around 120 pounds. Her hair was light brown to dark blond, about 12-14 inches long and was believed to be Caucasian, however she could have been of Hispanic, Asian or Native American descent.
FOX 11 News plans to cover Tuesday’s news conference and will have more details throughout the day here at fox11online.com, and on FOX 11 News at Five, Nine and Ten.
