Print, Share, distribute around the area from which she is missing. Someone obviously knows something. Let's bring the case back to the public eye!

I spoke with Lee Jantz, Associate Director of the Forensic Anthropology Center at UTK about Collierville Jane Doe. First, I just want to say that she is wonderful and I'm glad that someone like her is pushing for answers for the unidentified.

The "bones found by a fisherman" are actually four bones: a scapula, ulna, sacrum and one other. Measurements and examinations of these bones led to the conclusion that they likely belonged to that of an African American female between 21-30. The ulna was in the best condition so it was sent for DNA testing, but there wasn't enough for a good profile. She said that they're keeping an eye on changes in DNA technology and plan to retest in the future as science evolves.

She was also contacted by Detective May with the Army CID at some point in the past, but couldn't recall offhand what conclusion they came to in regards to Collierville Jane and the possible match to Alice. She also noted that they have another case of a 12-14 year old female UID that wasn't a good candidate for DNA analysis, but hopes that it, too, will have answers with developing technology. Edited to correct: the 12-14 year old female does have DNA on file and will soon be a candidate for genetic genealogy. I misread my notes

This is amazing. I was coming here to suggest the Tennesse Jane Doe with Alice only to see you’ve already gone at great lengths with it!

I hope we can continue to advance dna testing wise (I’m looking at you Paramore Jane Doe/Mabel Andrews) and we can continue to solve and/or eliminate the possible matches for all the DOES out there.

If this is, indeed, the same Lee Andrew Jefferson who was married to Alice, I'm so angry right now I could spit nails.

Seems to meet everything I found -- should be easy enough to verify....

I see an obituary for a Lee Andrew Jefferson, which I think is the same person that is mentioned in Alice case...

https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/lebanon-pa/lee-jefferson-11853046

The problem is, is that it does not make any mention of his children with Alice, then again they did accuse him of murder, but not sure if its the right person.

Thank you for the update, as unfortunate as it is.

Thank you for the update, as unfortunate as it is.

i will admit that I am a bit cautious with this, so the dates of service add up, branch ect. But the rank does not. The army investigation states that in 1975 he was a E-5 Sargent. The person mentioned in the Obituary is shown to have gotten out as a E-6. So if they were the same person then he would have made it to E-5 in 3 years and then got out 17 years later as a E-6? It seems strange to me. Then again I am sure the investigation had something to do with him not making higher rank. The end location adds up, as it known that Lee Jefferson ended up in Lebanon PA.
