Jefferson County Jane Doe (July 2005)

On July 22, 2005, the skeletal remains of a female were discovered by a construction company who was in the process of demolition at the 3600 Block of Seventh Street Road in Shively, Kentucky. Her body had been purposely hidden and posed in a way that indicated foul play was involved in her death. She was thought to have been deceased 2-15 yesrs prior to being found. She was given the placeholder name Jefferson County Jane Doe (July 2005).

To help generate leads for the woman's identity, a forensic artist rendering was created in 2009. Since the discovery of the unknown woman’s body, more than 100 women have been ruled out as the victim. Despite continuous efforts by law enforcement to identify the woman, no leads have yielded a match to identity. In 2023, the Shively Police Department partnered with Othram to generate new leads in the case using advanced DNA technology and forensic genetic genealogy.

Before you continue reading I want to say that I was told this story by an individual who wishes to remain anonymous. The date this story happened is unknown but it was close to around the time Cheryl was found deceased. Certain individuals in this story have fake names for privacy reasons. The fake names will be Donna and Donny. I will refer to the individual in which this story is being told by as Anonymous. Now onto the story.

Anonymous said that it seemed to be a warm weather day when they seen the two girls. They saw Cheryl (1976) and the petite strawberry blond girl at the apartment of a man named Donny. Donny was Anonymous' cousin, Donna's husband/boyfriend. Anonymous was told the blond girl's name was Sherry and that she was Donny's girlfriend. Anonymous was told that Cheryl was Sherry's sister. It struck Anonymous as odd that these 2 young girls were at Donny's apartment.

Anonymous entered the apartment as well to buy pot. They seen Cheryl sitting on the couch in the living room of Donny's apartment. Donny called the girl he called Sherry into the bedroom where he was. When Anonymous walked in to buy pot Donny had the bedroom door open. Donna went in and got Anonymous a dime bag. Sherry was sitting on the bed. Then Anonymous left.

A couple months later, Anonymous visited their cousin, Donna. While talking Anonymous asked Donna about the girls. Donna said that Sherry the petite blond girl was a prostitute for Donny and that she had died of a drug overdose and she was found in (Anonymous thinks) the Cumberland River. Anonymous then asked about Sherry's sister, Cheryl and Donna said that she was found in the Harpeth River because she was a snitch. Donna also told Anonymous that Sherry was 15 years old.

To be clear Anonymous never heard anyone call Cheryl the name Cheryl during the intercation but they did hear Donny call the other girl Sherry and their cousin Donna also said the girl's name was Sherry.

This sighting on these two girls has stuck with Anonymous for all these years but they haven't had the courage to ever share it with anyone or say anything. Im very thankful they shared it with me and im thankful to have gotten their permission to share this possible sighting of the two girls with yall. I hope this new sighting helps Cheryl's case out. Please be respectful in the comments. It took a lot for Anonymous to even come forward and tell me about this sighting of the girls.

Chambers County Jane Doe (1986)

On May 31, 1986, a passerby discovered the mummified remains of an individual beside State Highway 87 in High Island, Texas. The individual was found fully dressed except for their underwear. The site was a few miles away from Highway 124. For decades, the remains were believed to belong to a cisgender female. However, in 2023, DNA analysis revealed the prescence of a Y-chromosome, meaning the decdent was assigned male at birth.

The decedent's traditional feminine presentation indicated that they were likely a transgender woman. It is unknown if the decedent underwent gender confirmation surgery or hormone replacement therapy. However, the degraded condition of the remains may have hindered such findings. The individual was thought to have been deceased 1-2 months prior to being found. The individual was given the placeholder name Chambers County Jane Doe (1986).

He was caught on her Ring doorbell alive just a day before he was found deceased and the second slide which is him on the doorbell footage was a public image until he was identified.

I hope you guys understand my question with that example I used and I would love to hear of other examples like this because I know there are some Does who have living photos captured of them before they were found deceased.

Im happy that these two cases are in the hands of law enforcement now and i'll inform you of any updates.

My Previous Post

Let's talk about a topic that isn't commonly talked about in this sub but revolves around the topic of this sub which is identified Does who are then left unclaimed once they're identified. It's very sad to see because it feels like everyone tried so hard to get this person their name back and that was satisfying when they got their name but then it felt like two steps were taken backwards when you hear that the recently identified person has became an unclaimed person. There are many unclaimed Does who still need our help even after they have got their name. So as usual I ask that you please share their pictures. Show their faces because although I know there are many different circumstances why people go unclaimed they shouldn't be forgotten and there could always be a family member out there willing to claim them that doesn't even know they're gone.

Cases Of The Identified But Unclaimed

Also as I looked on reddit for a sub that featured unclaimed people I surprisingly couldn't find one. So I made a sub called r/UnclaimedPeople. If you care about the unclaimed as much as we all care about the unidentified then please join that sub and contribute. It would be much appreciated. The unclaimed deserve a spotlight as much as the unidentified do.

Beaver County Jane Doe (2014)

On December 12, 2014, the embalmed, severed head of a woman was found in a wooded area alongside Mason Road in Economy Borough, Pennsylvania. Her head had likely been severed by someone with anatomical knowledge and her eyes had been replaced with red rubber balls, which is inconsistent with practices in the funeral industry. However, the method in which she was embalmed suggests that it was done in a funeral home rather than a medical school or something similar.

Traces of a medication used to treat heart failure was found in her system and she may have died from this or a similar condition. Foul play is not suspected in her death. She was given the placeholder name Beaver County Jane Doe (2014).

If this case has caught your interest and you would like to learn more than what I told you this Jane Doe case was featured on the fourth season of the Unsolved Mysteries reboot in an episode titled "The Severed Head" in 2024.

This case is reminding me of another Doe case. A lady named Alyce Peterson who was identified last year. Her skull was found in the woods just like this woman's head was. A funeral director had committed the crime on Alyce in 2001. This case here to me comes off as the same thing. It seems like a funeral director or someone working in a funeral home might've severed this lady's head after she passed away. The embalming is another thing to because that's something funeral homes do. Foul play is not suspected so it's suspected that this lady died a natural death. I feel like she might've passed away and was sent to the funeral home where some negligence went down and someone severed her head for some unknown reason. Much like what happened to Alyce. I hope this lady gets her name soon.

Why John Doe (2014)

On April 18, 2014, the mummified body of a man was discovered by United States Border Patrol personnel in a desert area within the Organ Pipe National Monument near Why, Arizona. No sogns of trauma or foul play were found on the decdent's remains, but it was thought he could have possibly died from exposure to the elements based on the remote location where he was found within the Cabeza Prieta migrant corridor. His DNA profile was entered into CODIS with no positive matches. Investigators considered it more likely that he was a Native American of U.S.-origin, despite the place he was found being a highly-trafficked illegal border crossing, based on his unusually tall height and English-language tattoos. He was thought to have been deceased days prior to being found. He was given the placeholder name Why John Doe (2014).

He is currently undergoing testing by Ramapo College. In December 2023, genealogy research has shown he is of Mexican descent. He was previously believed to be from a Native American group within the United States. Possible regions of interest within his family tree in the United States are southern California and Arizona. Regions of interest in Mexico include Guasave, Sinaloa, El Amole, Sinaloa, and the other state of Nuevo Leon. As of February 2026 surnames of interest include Ahumada, Cervantes, Leal, Leyva, Lopez, Renteria, and Soberanes.

Cheryl (1976)

On March 24, 1976, a teenage girl was found deceased in the Harpeth River, within 24 hours of her death in Nashville, Tennessee. Her pants had been unbuttoned and she was not wearing a top. There were some cuts and bruises visible on her body. Her official cause of death was later ruled as drowning under undetermined circumstances. An examination indicated that the decedent participated in sexual activity days before her death. It is unknown if this was consensual. She had a recognizable face. She was thought to have been deceased hours before being found. She was given the placeholder name Cheryl (1976).

The decedent carried a photograph of a white, blond-haired boy with "Little Charley" written on the back, with a phone number on the back. After authorities called, a 24-year old man named Charles Moore, from East Nashville, who lived with his father, known as "Big Charley" answered. Charles was not the child in the photo.

Nine days before the discovery, Charles and his brother-in-law picked up the female, who was using the name "Cheryl" or "Sherry", hitchhiking along Interstate 24 with a teenage female described as slender and white, with sandy-blond hair, scars on her wrists, and wire-rimmed glasses with round lenses. Both subjects were never identified. They stated they ran away from a treatment facility in or near the Twin Cities in Minnesota. The companion was admitted for being suicidal, and "Cheryl" was reportedly a recovering alcoholic. They claimed to be traveling to Haines City, Florida to meet the companion's husband.

Charles explained he provided the decedent with his name and phone number after dropping the pair off if they were to return to Nashville. As the photograph was the only item to record this information, "Cheryl" used it as a substitute for paper. The area where the body was found was 90 miles from where the pair left the vehicle, which was "the opposite direction" of their intended destination. Police have since excluded Charles Moore and his brother-in-law as persons of interest.

The female's body was later buried in an unclear location, as grave markers have since been relocated at the cemetery she was interred. Dental and fingerprint information was recorded, yet have not linked her to active missing person cases.

This case is very sad and it leaves a lot of people wondering who this young lady is. A lot of people are wondering but Charles Moore who is still alive and met this lady just days before her death is also wondering as well. Read the quoted text below:

"I feel blessed to say that Charlie Moore is still alive, and his granddaughters have reached out, willing to do what they can to help identify this young lady. With that being said, they have explained that her case has haunted Charlie for years, leaving him incredibly sad and regretful that he could have done something more to help her. Charlie has gotten older, and they would like to see this case solved to give him some peace of mind before he leaves this world." - Tennessee Missing and Unsolved.

This case is interesting to us all and has had a lot of us wondering who she is but this case has haunted Charles Moore, the man who met and spoke to her just days before her death. Anyone who knows anything or can help in any way you can it is much needed. Your upvote helps, you sharing this case out helps, you looking into old newspaper records helps cause you just never know there could be an article about two girls who escaped a mental institution anything you can do helps. For those of you who know how to, look through old articles, look through school records, etc... Charles is getting older and will not live forever and if we can get any closer to finding Cheryl's identity and bringing peace of mind to Charles we need to. Rip Cheryl 🙏

DeKalb County John Doe (July 2025) finally has his name back after 9 months. This is good but also sad news. The good news is he has his name again the sad news is his body went unclaimed. He's been unidentified for 9 months only to be left unclaimed when he was identified it's very sad and I hope his family or someone claims him soon. Rip Arthur 🙏
