The case​

On 14 October 2001, a mushroom picker found the dead body of a woman in the bog area 'Worringer Bruch' in Cologne-Worringen. The body had been there for at least four months, but possibly even for four years. It was no longer possible to establish the cause of death; a crime could not be ruled out. Her identity has always remained a mystery.

Characteristics​

Experts reconstructed the woman's face in April 2002. The reconstruction gives an idea of how the woman might have looked. It is assumed that the woman was of mixed descent, partly African, possibly Mongolian. She had curly black hair. Noticeably, her teeth were in very good condition.

In a back pocket, the woman carried seven cotton swabs with her. She also carried a few German banknotes with her. The jewelry is also striking. It was found near the place where the body was found and might give a clue to who this young woman might be.

Phenotype: African/Mongolian

I wonder why they believe her to be Mongolian.

Is Saredo Mohamed Hassan still missing from Belgium?

I also feel there should be a recon with the hairpiece that the Jane Doe was found with.

I got a better grab of the bracelet from the interpol site.




I'd take a guess that if they are actually gemstones and not glass, those are blue topazes. My mother has one in her engagement ring from her marriage to my stepfather. People think of topazes being yellow/amber coloured, but the sky blue ones are a popular option for jewellery, too.

It's broken, too. That lobster clasp should be attached to the small loop on the other end of the chain. Instead it's free, and only anchored to the chain by the bit that opens and closes.
