Hi everybody,
Just bumping this thread up, and providing some info -
I have been in contact with LE over the past several weeks for an upcoming nonfiction book regarding Princess Doe.
For those who haven't seen the few replies that mention this, Diane Dye was conclusively and without a doubt ruled out as being Princess Doe in 2003 through DNA testing. One post on here said that the DNA tests were "inconclusive", but that is not the case. Her dental comparison was inconclusive back in 1983, but the DNA shows, without a doubt, that Princess Doe is not related in any way to anyone birthed by Diane Dye's mother.
As for the composites, and I cannot stress this enough, it has to be taken into account that up until the recent CT scan digital composite, the multiple composites that were made for Princess Doe heavily relied on the imagination of the artists performing the work. This info comes straight from LE. Princess Doe's face was obliterated and nearly completely decomposed at the time she was found. As many of you can see, there have been several composites drawn up for Princess Doe, each looking considerably different from the last. LE has expressed their dissatisfaction to me regarding the composite drawing done which shows Princess Doe smiling. The teeth are inaccurate, not to mention, no one knows what Princess Doe's true smile looked like, and the hair is represented as being too close to blonde. Princess Doe had dark brown hair, which is evident in the ME photos. While comparisons between the blonde smiling Princess Doe composite and other missing girls have lead to some very interesting leads, please keep in mind that composites are not the final say on what she looked like. Far from it. LE is in agreement with each other that the most recent 3D digital composite made from a CT scan of Princess Doe's skull is most likely the most accurate composite to date.
As for the questions regarding a rape kit, one could not be performed due to decomp.
As for the questions regarding her blood and blood alcohol content - the initial reports regarding Princess Doe having alcohol in her system were misleading. The fact is this - Princess Doe's blood had literally fermented due to decomp. Also, Princess Doe's blood type has never positively been determined. Initial reports of Princess Doe having type "O" blood, as seen on a well-known poster of her, were, according to LE, "guess work".
Regarding eye color - Princess Doe's eye color could not be determined due to decomp. According to LE, there was nothing left of her eyes.
Regarding the questions about Princess Doe giving birth or not - According to LE, the forensic anthropologists who examined Princess Doe concluded that she had never given birth based on the size of her birth canal.
Regarding her ears - several reports mention one ear being double pierced, the other being single pierced. The fact is this - one of Princess Doe's ears was missing, due either to the blows her head took or to decomp (most likely both). When she was found, only one ear remained, and that one was double-pierced.
Regarding nail polish - According to several reports, only one of Princess Doe's hands had fingernail polish. When I spoke with LE, the recollection was that both hands had polished nails.
I hope this helps.
