She looks similar to Maria Guadalupe Montano

I considered Montano too and I admit she shares a strong resemblance with the Jane Doe (It wouldn't be the first time Law Enforcement failed to identify a Jane Doe because they guessed her race wrong. Looking at you Jacksonville, North Carolina Police Department). But the circumstances between Montano's disappearance and the Jane Doe's discovery don't seem to match to me.

After looking for potential matches to this decedent, I have to say that I second what some previous posters to this thread have said — Maria Montano seems like a good possible match. The timing is close, and the location she disappeared from vs. the location where Jane Doe was found are reasonably close. The basic statistics are mostly in line as well (with the exception of the hair color).

As for the circumstances, it seems fairly certain that her husband was her murderer, though the detail about her remains being in a blanket for some time may not match up entirely with the narrative of Jane Doe's discovery. Perhaps, after several days, her husband moved her body out of the blanket that she was initially wrapped in (which was buried at one of his relatives' properties) and moved it farther away in order to complicate the investigation?

Either way, I feel that she could very well be our Jane Doe. Has anyone submitted her as a potential match to the jurisdiction investigating Jane Doe's case?

Otherwise, the only other potential matches I found reasonably plausible were Teresa Wisner (The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)) and Lora Leigh McIntire (The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)).

Madison County Jane Doe was a woman discovered in a bean field in Madison County, Illinois on July 20, 1990. Her cause of death was determined to be multiple stab wounds to her neck and torso.

Case
The victim had been placed at the location approximately two to three days prior to her discovery.

Investigators initially thought she had undergone a hysterectomy, as there was evidence her uterus had been removed through extensive cutting and mutilation but it is possible that her killer might have removed it.

It is also suspected that she was sexually assaulted.

Purely speculation...
I think it's odd that the body was left across the road from what appears to be the Old St. John Evangelical cemetery at the corner of Lebanon Road and Troy O'Fallon Road.

Just getting a local wife beater did this vibe. And she was more like livestock ordered from an Eastern European country, than an actual human being.

Damn, cases from places I've lived always hit hard.


I too am feeling the Maria connection.

If it's true she was on that farm, she may have been moved. Naperville is a ways away from Collinsville but it's not improbable. You could make that trip in an afternoon. Why there? I don't know. May have been on the way elsewhere, maybe Saint Louis or somewhere south of there.

Edit: this has a ton of information in it. I don't know exactly what the PDF policy here is but it's from illinoiscourts.gov. She was moved. Unfortunately our Doe was stabbed, not strangled with a rope.

Hey, guys, speaking of possible connections with serial killers, I heard of a serial killer who was active in Illinois around the time this woman died. His name was Ralph Raymond Andrews. A profile on this website says that he sexually assaulted victims and removed their (sexual) organs, 2 things that are also present in this case. Warning, as you could imagine, some of this stuff is VERY hard to read:

Ralph Raymond Andrews | Murderpedia, the encyclopedia of murderers

What do you guys think? Jarvis Township is about 4 hours away from Chicago, so it really isn't that much of a stretch.

I’m from this area and about roughly an hour or so away from where Jane Doe was found, in Centralia, Illinois there is a train station that can take you straight to Chicago. There are several missing persons cases in centralia/are and i believe one murder all unsolved to this day. I do believe these are mostly men though but Ive always thought anyone could come down on that train do whatever and get right back on and out fairly quick. Especially back in the day with less CCTV footage and tech footprints.

All details don't match but it seems like some might? JMO I haven't followed many UID cases so I could be way off on this comparison but I thought it was worth mentioning. Apologies if this has been looked into already!
