I wonder if the Jane Doe had any indications of having given birth.
I don't think so. She was in the water 8-10 days before she was found, so it may be hard to tell.
No, it wouldn't be hard to tell. A woman with a prior history of childbirth would have skeletal indicators that are easy for the forensic anthropologist to recognize.
Carl, I can understand if the remains are skeletal that they can see the pelvic grooves but if the body is intact, would they be able to see them unless they specifically looked for them in an autopsy?
Here is a Canadian who fits the description and timeframe:
Janette Brunet
Nothing here though, to suggest how she would end up in Oklahoma from Ottawa.
I wonder if the Jane Doe had any indications of having given birth.
If anyone reads this from the Tahlequah Area there will be a missing person seminar on Saturday, September 8, 9:30-12:30 p.m. at the Tahlequah Public Library in Tahlequah Oklahoma. Family members of the missing are invited to attend. There will info on NamUs, missing person cases and family members can donate DNA if they wish.
Authorities have identified the women whose body was found tied to concrete blocks in the river below Fort Gibson Dam in 1988... Daisy Doe now has a name: Jeanette Coleman, who would today be 57 years old...
Jeanette Coleman was from Bakersfield, Calif. She was a common-law wife of Charles Troy Coleman, who had been charged with killing Jeanette Colemans father in the late 1970s. He was tried, but never convicted, according to Chennault. But when Jeanette and Charles arrived in Muskogee County, they were arrested for a double-murder in 1979. Charges against Jeanette Coleman were dropped, and she ultimately testified against her common-law husband.
Charles Coleman eventually escaped custody but was captured and executed in 1990. He had been accused of at least three murders.
Here is the doe link:

when pasting doe links, the easiest way is to just type it out. It is always "http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/" + [case number in lower case] + ".html"
Just for my enlightenment; when sites like Doe don't give a cause of death, does that mean that it's unknown? Also, when an article of underwear isn't mentioned, does that mean she wasn't wearing any?
Daisy Doe’s story went global, and has long been the one case that kept retired Cherokee County Investigator Jack Goss looking for answers...
Cherokee County Undersheriff Jason Chennault said he and Special Agent Vicky Lyons, of the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, were recently preparing to make a presentation on the missing-person case when they started perusing old evidence. They then learned the state’s medical examiner had put the woman’s hands into “cold storage.” Using the OSBI’s new technology, which rehydrated the hands, new fingerprints were made, and they returned a hit in the computer system...
"Every investigator will have a case, that before they die, they want to see solved. This was my case,” said Goss. “At least to identify her. That was my whole objective in life.”
The undersheriff says Coleman is not suspected of physically causing "Daisy Doe's" death. "He couldn't have done it physically," he said. "He could have had someone do it, but he was in prison from 1979 to his execution in 1990."
Though the murder took place 27 years ago, Chennault hopes identifying the victim may bring someone forward who knows something about her.
