Identified! GA - Millen, AsianFem 113UFGA, 16-22, in suitcase in dumpster, Feb'88 - Chong Un Kim

Do you think the person who murdered this Jane Doe has murdered others? How she was disposed, wrapped in plastic and was in a duffle bag and was speculated that she was killed in one location then dumped in another completely different location doesn't seem like the actions of a first-time killer.
I wonder if the kind of duffle bag design was able to be tracked to specific places that sell them and could track the establishments and the people who bought them to be able to compose a list of people who had access to that specific duffle bag.

I found something very strange, one site said that this Jane Doe could have been the victim of some of the serial killers active in the south at that time, specifically Larry De Wayne Hall. But it then said in the next paragraph that it wasn't a true possibility. Then a list of victims of Hall from Radford University stated that there was a woman found in Millen, Georgia on 02/14/1988 that was listed as a potential abductee.

Recent article/news story on her. Apparently DNA is being explored, and perhaps there might be samples from her autopsy that could be tested.

Crowe added, “We still have her on the shelf back here thinking one day that somebody kin to her will come because GBI has DNA from the autopsy.”

@Caring1 Hey could you post the current NamUs exclusion list for this Jane Doe?

@Caring1 Hey could you post the current NamUs exclusion list for this Jane Doe?

Her NamUs was recently updated, but no new exclusions (at least visible to the public ones).

She looks Latina to me in the first reconstruction but Vietnamese, Cambodian, or Laotian in the second. I'm not sure about the local history of Georgia, but they may have had an uptick of South East Asian refugees in the 80's. Personally, she's a spitting image of my Vietnamese friend when were in our late teens.

SOLVED: After 35 Years, Jane Millen Doe is Identified

 

[Nancy Drew RN]

What an amazing identification. Even her ethnicity was never known with certainty before. I’m sure the genetic genealogy for an Asian woman probably wasn’t simple, based on other cases, unless perhaps family was looking for her.

The bedding found with her was made in Korea. She’s also a bit older than was thought.

Just goes to show that we can't give up just because the case details look tough. Any case can solve. We need to work through them all.

Also worth noting that Fort Stewart is in Hinesville. I wonder if she was associated with a soldier romantically?
