On January 15, 1985, the body of a young woman was found in a shallow grave in the area of MacArthur Blvd. and Stamford Rd in Superior Township, Michigan. Her shallow grave near the Woolman Oval Apartments had been abandoned in the 1970s and does not exist now. She had been dead for several months to a year. She had been killed by being shot in the head.

The young woman was 25-year-old Cheryl Coates, but she would be a Jane Doe until 2023. Her DNA was submitted to Ortham and on December 15, 2023, she was identified.

Cheryl was known to frequent Detroit and Southfield.
