Hm. She does have the nose.

I’m reading a book, “Smooth Operator”, about serial killer Glen Edward Rogers. I came across something that caught my attention but I can’t find any information about her. Hopefully someone here will have better luck.

There is only one sentence referencing this and it is mentioned after his arrest in KY and pertaining to possible links to other states and cases.

“Directly across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, police in Covington, Kentucky, also pulled out their files on the July 1994 disappearance of forty-year-old Diane Washington, to give them a close look for any possible links to Rogers.”

I thought of this Doe. I can’t find any information on her disappearance online and in newspaper archives. The book was published over 2 decades ago, so maybe she’s simply not missing anymore??

The only real way to find out would be to call the Covington PD to see if she is still missing.

The book got her last name wrong. Her name was Diane Marguerite Washer. There's quite a bit on newspapers.com. She was found deceased. Only some of her bones were recovered. I attached part of an article. The rest is here: 12 Dec 1998, Page 20 - The Cincinnati Enquirer at Newspapers.com

Time to name another Doe!

''In July 2005, partial skeletal remains were located as a construction company was clearing a lot in the 3600 block of Seventh Street Road in the City of Shively, a suburb of Louisville, Kentucky. Investigators determined that the remains belonged to a Caucasian female between the ages of twenty and forty years old. Investigators suspect that the death could be a homicide. The woman was estimated to be 5’2” in height and her weight was unknown. Several short hairs were recovered, leading investigators to believe the woman had straight brown hair. However, it is possible that the color represented the woman’s root color only. The woman’s nose was described as “distinctively narrow.” No clothing or other identifying items were found near the crime scene.

In June 2007, details of the unidentified person case were entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) as case number #UP74. To help generate leads for the woman's identity, a forensic artist rendering was created in 2009. Since the discovery of the unknown woman’s body, more than 100 women have been ruled out as the victim. Despite continuous efforts by law enforcement to identify the woman, no leads have yielded a match to identity.

In 2023, the Shively Police Department partnered with Othram to generate new leads in the case using advanced DNA technology and forensic genetic genealogy. Anyone with information that could aid in the investigation is encouraged to contact the Shively Police Department by calling 502-448-6181 and referencing agency case number FA-2005-41 or NamUs ID #UP74.''
