December 18, 1996 Fairfax County, Virginia Jane Doe

On December 18, 1996 A groundskeeper for Pleasant Valley Memorial Park Cemetery stumbled upon the body of a woman who was lying near the section where infants were buried. Unfortunately she had taken a mixture of alcohol and Valium and then placed a plastic bag over her head and taped the bottom of it. She was also wearing headphones and listening to Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner doing the 2000 Year Old Man. This was how she died.

She left two notes at the scene one for the coroner,and one for the cemetery, both with the same typed note: Deceased by own hand...prefer no autopsy. Please order cremation with funds provided. Thank you, Jane Doe.

She also brought with herself to the scene a small Christmas Tree adorned with red ribbons and gold balls. A green knapsack that held Jeff Foxworthy's You Might Be A Redneck cassette, a tape of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, two empty juice bottles, and a new roll of masking.

She was a 50 to 70 year old woman around 5'0 and 157 lbs. She had curly red or auburn hair that was mostly a cooper color. She had an 8 inch scar on her abdomen most likely due to a C-Section. Her fingernails were painted red. She was wearing  a medium teal all-weather Eddie Baur hooded jacket , a large navy blue Classiques Entier sweater , a XL red Classiques Entier sweater, a petite large red Classiques Entier sleeveless silk shirt, a large navy blue Classiques Entier knit wool pants , knee-high stockings, white support bra, white Fruit of the Loom underpants, and size 7 black loafers . Her clothes may have come from an upscale store such as Saks Fifth Avenue. Her jewelry includes a pair of bifocals, two clip-on earrings, a small gold women's Guess watch with a mesh band, a 14-karat gold ring with four jade stones, and a metal bead chain with a medic alert "NO CODE, DNR, No Penicillin."

The area she was found in would be difficult to find and probably may not be known to a drifter. This does not mean she did not happen upon the area.  All the infant graves she was found lying near were more recent.

January 25, 1984 Baker, Nevada J Doe


On Jan. 25, 1984 a faded grayish blue/green, two-door hardtop 1968 Chevrolet BelAir was found 45 miles east of Ely at the Willow Patch Rest Stop in Bakers, Nevada. Inside was a sad sight as a man had committed suicide by connecting a hose from his exhaust into the interior of his vehicle. He had been there for a week and had died from carbon monoxide poisoning.

He left a suicide note signed J with a p.s. requesting $201.40 to be donated to the Mormon Church. The suicide note was similarly written like a prayer.  "Please forgive then all, dear Lord, for any hurt they cause this humble servant whom they never knew -- who got awful tired on the journey and could go no further."

It had been apparent that he was living in his vehicle. The back seat and support seat were missing, most likely to make more room to live in. The glove box had an electric component box, with switches and three colored lights which had five leads going from the device to the celonoid on the starter as a power source. It was thought to be a timing device to turn off the vehicle after a set time. It was possibly homemade. His vehicle had no license plates and the VIN of his vehicle was 155118T240844. There was no match made with the VIN.

He was a white male between the ages of 40 and 46 years old. He was between 5'11" to 6'0" and 170 to180 lbs. He had red or auburn or brown hair that was graying on the sides. He was wearing a thin blue jacket with a hood, a yellow button-up sweater, a white long-sleeved shirt, and green trousers. Additional clothing inside the vehicle included a black medium windbreaker, blue medium shirt, beige medium windbreaker, blue and red checkered shirt, and black golf shoes with the spikes removed. None of the clothes had tags. He had a brown wallet with $201.40 and prescription glasses and military non-prescription glasses. 

He has Dentals and Fingerprints, but no DNA.
