I don't know if I have mentioned this, but there is a group on facebook for people who lived in JP, I've posted on there before but I'm thinking of doing it again to see if anyone pipes up.

I was thinking about this too, saw some people who grew up in Fourbes St and wondered is it considered alright to approach them? How is this usually handled, or is it faux pas?

Bumping case up. It has been 42 years since Woodlawn Jane Doe was murdered.

This is an extremely long thread and so if I missed anything from previous threads...sorry. I do have my own theories about the origin of Woodlawn Doe. I do think she has ties to the adams-nervine asylum that was once in Jamaica Plains.

Why I think this:

• There were some programs that involved arts and crafts (which could explain her necklace which is homemade).
• Could also explain the low-count bed sheet along with the drugs found in her stomach.
• I did some research on the smaller key, which was manufactured in Fittsburg from the Independent Lock . That key is a key to a padlock, maybe it was a key to locker of some sort?
• The asylum is VERY close to the Arnold Arboretum
• The grass seed bag could of been used on that property, I'm not sure how it was maintained and its pretty evident that the property was well taken care of and had lots of grassy areas

I don't think she was originally from that area but probably traveled there specifically to go to that asylum.

The asylum mostly housed women and closed down in 1976...but I have no clue what month in 1976 it was evacuated and closed. I tried to find any stories about that asylum from the 70s and didn't find anything about what types of craft projects they did.

What are your thoughts on this one:
As I was searching info on another case, I saw some things that might connect Woodlawn Doe to Betty Irene Redmond. Woodloawn Doe was found on Sept. 12, 1976 and Betty's info says "missing since" Sept. 26, 1976. Not sure if that means the date she was reported missing or not, but if that's just the reported date and not actually the last anyone saw her, couldn't that be her? I thought one of the sketch drawings matched really well with her picture also.

And sorry if this has been mentioned before, I tried to go through all the previous posts, but it's after midnight and I didn't want to forget.

The missing date is generally the last date of contact, not the date report was filed, but mistakes have been made before.

Yes and in one of the discriptions I read, they mistakenly have the date as November 26 instead of September 26.

I think Redmond is "Beth Doe" but when I submitted her, LE told me it couldn't be because her husband murdered her that night and said they wouldn't look at it further. But her date is firm, so she can't be Woodlawn Doe either.

Not to stray too far from the thread topic but the Betty/Beth Doe possible match has been suggested and submitted by lots of people, groups, orgs, over the years. There is quite a stunning resemblance to the original sketch. I sent it in myself back on 12/01/2004 but today I no longer think she is a viable match. Plus, I was told by PSP that she was ruled out.

 

[wistful]

She probably has some connection to Massachusetts. It's a shame that a case with so many tangible clues (the keys, the seed bag, the bandages and the way they were tied) remains unsolved.

Yeah, I think I remember discussing it in Beth's thread at the time you submitted it. If PSP think she's ruled out, I take that seriously.

In any case, she can't be Woodlawn Doe because of the date mismatch.

Forty years after finding the body of "Woodlawn Jane Doe" dumped outside a Maryland cemetery, police have released a new facial reconstruction in hopes of identifying a woman they believe could be from Jamaica Plain.

Authorities have been unable to identify the woman, whose body was found Sept. 12, 1976, dumped near the Lorraine Park Cemetery in Woodlawn, MD, between 9:20 and 10:20 a.m...

"With the assistance of Boston Police Department, the Baltimore County Police Department is running down leads on the case," the center reported exactly 40 years after her body was found. "One lead suggests she may have been named Jasmine, gone by the nickname, 'Jassy,' and may have lived with her family on Forbes Street in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, in the early 1970s. Investigators are looking for anyone that remembers this young female. She may have relatives by the name of Blanca, Tito and Santana.

Woodlawn Jane Doe was between 15 and 20 years old when she was killed, officials said. Tips received in the years since have led investigators to believe she may have been from Puerto Rico and moved with her family, including two sisters and three brothers, to the unit block of Forbes Street in Jamaica Plain when she was 5 or 6 years old; she disappeared at age 15, police said."

I was just checking recently added mp's on namus when I found Wanda ann Herr, missing since June 1976 from a group home in Oregon. I know this doesn't tie in with the Jp tattoo and the Boston connection, but, comparing Wandas photo to the pm photo of woodlawn doe, they have the same rounded nose and gap in the upper front teeth.

I just came across this case after hearing about it on news. Could this be her? I know her height is off but still?

I remember Fr. Walsh with the hippie long hair. Yazmin Abejon class of 80"

The name of this poster really stands out given who investigators are looking for (Jasmine). I searched FB, but could only find one woman with that name listed as in Colombia, no mention of New England.
