On July 5, 1966 around 2 p.m., a couple checked into Ropers Hotel in Pecos, Texas as husband and wife. At 5:30 the wife decided to go swimming. Soon there was screaming and she was drowning. A maid walked by the pool and the girl had already drowned. The 16-year-old granddaughter of the motel owner pulled the girl out and did CPR. It was all in vain as the unknown girl had died.

When the "Husband" of the couple was notified he initially left the hotel. He soon returned and persuaded the teenage girl to give him the registration card with the couple's information so he could prove he was staying there to the hospital. They were registered under Mrs. and Mr. Russell Buattoun. He left and was never found. It could be possible that the two were probably not husband and wife like they claimed.

Jane Doe is a white female 17 to 20 years old. She was 5'4" and 130 lbs. She had long brown hair and brown eyes, and an olive complexion. She has a 4-inch burn scar on her ribs and a 3-inch scar on the inside of her left leg. She was wearing a bright red bathing suit. She had also been wearing dark shorts and a flowered blouse earlier.

The Husband was a white male with short blonde or red hair. He was 5'7" and weighed around 135 to 140 lbs.
