Who is she and what happened to her!!??

I wish there was a way to confirm this according to TOS.

I did some more digging and found out that Mark was NOT in that location at the time. The investigator had his location wrong, so I do not think he would not have been involved with this case. I am still interested in finding out who this person was. So sad that she can not be identified.

Thanks for letting us know.

I can't find where it says our Jane Doe was "tucked in a sleeping bag" but, the article from back when she was found, states the body was "weighed down by a car battery". Clearly intentional and not accidental. MOO JMO

Interesting remark: Since 1975 there have been 15 unsolved prostitution killings in Lee County (Sanibel Island is in Lee county, FL so is St. James City)

Do they suggest she was a prostitute or might have been a prostitute?

I'm not sure why the location she was found is labeled 'Sanibel Island'. From the paperclipping is seems she was found nearer to York Island then Sanibel Island. Strange question, but was/is St. James City or Lee county particularly known for prostitution?

Hi ipa, I think it's impossible. Lori had tattoos and also a C-section scar.

My reply was providing evidence to my statement saying that it was not possible

During her life, she had sustained bone fractures and had surgically placed screws in her right ankle.

She also had evidence of cranial surgery on the left side of her skull.

Sounds like domestic violence or a really bad accident.

As detailed in the STC link above, the scrubs were tracked back to the cath lab at the hospital. A nurse named "Amanda" ran off with a doctor but they determined she had kids and the unidentified had never had kids. Manner of death was listed by Lee County as homicidal violence but no cause of death listed.
