On February 16, 1982 the badly decomposed and nude body of a small female was discovered on a dirt road in the desert outside Plainview, Hale County, Texas. The young female was thought to be white/Caucasian in her late teens to early twenties and when she was discovered, her hands tied behind her back and her head was decapitated.

Several months later, on October 2nd 1982, the skull of what was believed to be a teenage girl or young woman was discovered near Scottsdale, Arizona. Surprisingly, both the body and the skull were buried together in Plainview, Texas. Later on however, it was determined that the body and the skull did not belong to the same person.

Who is the Plainview County Jane Doe and who does the skull found in Arizona belong to? Why were they originally determined to have belong to the same person, even being found months apart and and in totally different states?

The DNA Doe Project is still making the effort to identify the woman are still ongoing as of February 2022.
