Notes
The article from WLWT5 (linked below) states that the Jane Doe's t-shirt read "Las Vegas Nevada Athletic Dept." and that Jane Doe has "two scars." It also states her estimated age range is 40s - 50s and she has brown hair rather than gray. The postmortem images are in grayscale so that does not clear anything up, but the hair appears light-colored in my opinion.
