Bumping up. This case is so tragic. Why is there not even a drawing of her likeness?

This poor woman barely left a trace in life. It's beyond sad.

Bumping case up again.

Does this case have any Rule-outs? If so, at least we know there are identifiers and could work on this case.

Thanks for checking. That is just awful.

Yeah, I don't know why there isn't a drawing of her as I'm sure her face sustained damage and a postmortem photo would be something they wouldn't make public. But she was a suicide and especially in a place as big as Los Angeles County, having drawings done of homicide or possible homicide victims was likely higher on the priority list. She was very likely cremated, but maybe something was saved that would contain DNA. Her sweater is interesting as it may give a clue to her background..Saks 5th Avenue. Maybe she came from a wealthy or somewhat wealthy background and had fallen on hard times? Just my first thought when reading about this case.

I looked and I couldn't find any old newspaper articles about her suicide..maybe someone else can?

It says that woman's death occurred in 1999.

It says that woman's death occurred in 1999.

Oops. I had the wrong Doe. I saw Santa Monica in the description, and thought of that 1999 woman who also jumped from a building in Santa Monica. There is also a 1999 Jane Doe who jumped from a parking structure in Westwood near UCLA. I didn't realize there was also a 1986 Jane Doe who jumped from a building in Santa Monica.

I deleted my previous post to avoid confusion.

I searched and had no luck either.

Nothing on the L.A. county coroner website either. maybe she was identified?
