If the area was not accessible by a vehicle, that greatly increases the chance that an airboat was used. If there was water access, perhaps a flat john boat. I doubt seriously she would have intentionally wandered in on her own free will.

The "rosary" is called a "Novena Chaplet" and the "medallion" depicts Our Lady of Lourdes.

Thanks! I tried but WS didn't allow me to paste the 25 photos.
I just do a screen snapshot (Windows Snipping Tool)- I don't open up individual files, esp for Does as some of these are quite graphic in nature.

According to the fluiddb, our Jane Doe was found "one mile south of SW 168th Street and 230th Ave."

So that is right near the county line. Lots of farms there and a public entrance with park for Grossman Hammock just north of there. I didn't see anything online about a boat ramp, kayak entrance, etc.

I don't know why it was specified that the area was not "accessible by motor vehicle". The workers got to that place, so maybe it was accessible on foot? Probably the same way our JD got there?

I'm terrible with maps... Can someone pinpoint on the map where one mile south of SW 168th Street and 230th Ave is? TIA

This is as close as it gets on the map. 237th Ave (north south) and SW 168th St (east west) dead ends right before the everglades. So 230th Ave is just east of this intersection.

As you go south, the usable land juts out to the west. Heading south on 237th Ave it will dead end right at Hainlin Mill Rd, which is probably a dirt road.

Hainlin Mill Rd aligns with 213th St which appears paved. However the two sections do not connect.

I'm estimating this is 1 mile altho, I'm sure someone else likely has better map skill than I do. I could be off by a bit. But I suspect this is the general location she was found.

Close up of using the actual land photo. I think she was probably in this area just west of Sunset Farms. It's right on the county line and edge of the everglades and that appears to be a dirt road or perhaps a trail with the loop at the end.

Thanks, @PayrollNerd! I found the possible location on Google Earth. One mile south of SW 168th Street is about 2.5 miles north of the loop.

On another note, I Googled CS Essentials brand and found several jackets for sale. Most of them made in asian countries (India, China, Bangladesh, Armenia and Russia), and considered vintage (80s and 90s).
The only mention of the brand in the US was a single 1998 ad from Bealls Department Store, celebrating the opening of their new store in Ocala.
(The usual useless info I often like to share just in case.)
