Case History
The victim was located in the Nasa Buffer Zone area of Northern Hancock County, Mississippi on May 10, 2003.
Investigators believe it is possible that she was a transient & this was a drug deal gone bad. The area is known to have transients and crack addicts. She had been seen at truck stops around the I-10 & I-12 area of Louisiana. Unlike most addicts, at one point in her life, she had spent a lot of money on dental work including crowns and porcelain veneers.
It is possible that she was killed either in Louisiana or Pearl River County, MS and was brought to Santa Rosa for disposal.
Three possible suspects have been interviewed regarding the death of "Rosa Doe" , but no charges have been made against anyone yet.

UPDATE - In 2011, she was identified through DNA as Asenath Mary Woodin, last known to be living in New Iberia, Louisiana.
