“Kiowa Jane Doe has a name. She is Rebecca Jean Boyd and she has a family that loves and misses her,” said Ricky Adams, OSBI Director. “We are happy that Rebecca’s family has her back and can give her the proper burial that she deserves. Now our Cold Case Unit is going to determine how she ended up in that field and who is responsible.”

Rebecca has been ruled as being Comanche Jane Doe (2010) and while researching her, I came across a Facebook page for her. However, this is basically the only information I can find on her disappearance. It seems like LE took a formal missing person report, as the owner of the page mentions talking to a detective in the comments.

Not sure why the photo is broken.

I'm confused. If she was already ruled out as a match for a different jane doe, then her DNA was in the system. Why wasn't there any attempt to match her DNA to all the does in NAMUS?

So many family members looking for their missing family/friends get told by LE that if their DNA is in the database, it would be checked against any existing jane does. But I see so many cases like this one where both the dna of the missing person AND the Jane Doe were on file, but not checked against each other for whatever reason.

I truly feel that if there was a way to have it immediately referenced against all existing does with DNA in the NAMUS databases, that we would see a surprising number of identified Jane and John Does....

i have noted this as well.

I would question when Rebecca was actually added to NamUs.

@carbuff listed the ruleouts for UP # 7810 on March 14, 2020 (post # 9)
OK - OK - Lawton, Kings Rd, UncFem 18-30, UP7810, cranium suture, PMI 10yrs, Jun'10

At that time, there was no MP# for Rebecca. Presumably, she hadn't been actually added to NamUs and it was likely a manual comparison, not necessarily run through CODIS.

And it was March 14, 2020 - when Covid was throwing the country (and the world) into panic and DNA processing, comparisons, etc slowed to a crawl. Even if Rebecca was added and assigned a MP# around that time, her DNA being added to CODIS and run through the system may have taken a significant amount of time.

(As an aside, I had a positive match several years ago where the DNA had to be retrieved from the skull and the MP's family. PSP, another state and NamUs involved. It took 19 months. And that was well before COVID.)

I hope the search continues so that her killer can be found and her family can have closure. In 2009, her younger son and family members were inquiring on the case. At that time, they were trying to make sure his dna was in the system and available to be searched for a match. My prayers are for her sons and other family members.

Case History
A farmer discovered the skull nearly a quarter mile from where a prostitute’s body had been dumped two years earlier. That unsolved homicide is not linked to the truck stop prostitute cases.

I found this little lady on another page identified as Rebecca Walden Boyd. This thread gives more information. It makes me wonder if her killer left her remains in this location as a copy cat for the serial killer preying on women in the Cache Road area. Also in that rural location, he might have hoped that wild animals would destroy evidence on her remains. RIP Becca.

Great news in the article that they are retesting the killer’s DNA, let’s hope it’s the genetic genealogy route and not simply for LE dbases.
