For decades, investigators have hoped that someone will come forward with information about Jane Doe Detroit.

On September 30, 1967, a woman's body was located in an alleyway behind 3613 Liddesdale Street. Her death was listed as a homicide, however, her cause of death has not been made public.

It was determined that Jane Doe Detroit had been recently murdered so her facial features were clear and identifiable in her post-mortem photo. However, in five decades since her death, no one has come forward to claim her remains.

Jane Doe Detroit's age is estimated at between 18 to 22. She stood five feet four inches tall. Her dark brown/black hair was styled in a short afro and she had brown eyes. She had a thin frame and was approximately 105 pounds. There were stretch marks on her abdomen, an old healed vertical line scar on her right shin that was said to be under her knee

The young lady was wearing a white wool cardigan and a bright red sleeveless dress that fell above the knee with white fishnet stockings. She also had on a short pink peacoat and one black cloth shoe that was size eight. Her dental information and fingerprints are on file, but her DNA is not.

Anyone with information regarding this case or who may think they know this woman who met an unfortunate fate is urged to contact their non-emergency local authorities or the Detroit Police Department at (313) 267-4600 or their local authorities.

I can only find two cases of missing black African American women that were reported as missing before 1967 in NamUs. One would have only been 8 in 1967, the other would still be too young, but close:
The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)
I doubt it's her, but other than that, it would appear this young woman wasn't reported missing, or under reported.
In the end, did you send Adele? I think it might be worth it

Ah, I was thinking of Antoinette Diane Wilson. Couldn't possibly be a match to her. Damn..

She was wearing a fishnet hose (thigh highs), a pink short peacoat, a short, above-the-knee bright red sleeveless dress, and a white wool sweater cardigan. She was wearing one size 8 black cloth shoe.

A photo of the victim is available online through NamUs.

Here's a colorized version of her photo, with some adjustments to make her appear more how she may have looked in life:
