Police Search For Clues In Nearly 40-Year-Old Homicide
BALTIMORE COUNTY, Md. (WJZ) -- Baltimore County police are seeking the public's help in solving a nearly four decade old homicide case.
The body of a Caucasian woman was found in the 5600 block of Dogwood Road in Woodlawn on Sept. 12, 1976. Her body was found a short distance from the Lorraine Park Cemetery.
Police know the woman died as a result of asphyxia and her death was ruled a homicide.
Since her body was discovered police have been looking for the person or people responsible for her death.
Even with a fingerprint search and nationwide missing persons search, they have yet to identify her -- so she is solely known as "Jane Doe."
She is described as a woman in her late teens to mid 20s, about 5-foot-8 and 159 pounds.
She had shoulder length hair, brown eyes, a one-and-a-half inch scar on her left thigh and a rough tattoo of the letters "J.P." on her upper right arm.
When she was found, she was wearing a white/beige pullover short sleeve top, beige/yellow Levi jeans, brown shoes and a rawhide necklace with a small blue charm.
