I know I find it so weird people found in the river unidentified are not reported on a bigger scale with at least the local news?! And then it just goes away. You never know if they are identified or not.
 
I have not heard any updates on this Jane doe
 
Has there ever been any update or does anyone know if this woman was ever identified?
