Case History
The victim was located at the bottom of a ravine, adjacent to a roadway in the 21100 block of Covina Hills Road, Covina, California. This is equestrian-type property in a wooded area north and west of the 210 and 10 freeway junction.
Her remains had been placed into a sleeping bag. She was partially burned on her right side. The pattern of the scorched vegetation in the gully indicates that her killer or killers wrapped her naked body in a sleeping bag, which may have been transported to Covina Hills Road in a car or truck. There the sleeping bag with her body inside was doused with flammable liquid, set on fire and pushed down the steep embankment. Still burning, it stopped its downward course at one point, then went rolling down the hill again. It eventually came to rest at the bottom.

The FBI and Sheriff's Department found no prints that matched Jane Doe's. She was so fair that everyone assumed she was white, but the contours of her skull suggested she may have had some Latino ancestry, too. For her last meal, she apparently ate rice with a red sauce. She had no drugs in her system.
