Distinguishing Marks/Features: Unusual skeletal characteristics of the skull and upper front cervical vertebrae indicate the victim suffered from chronic spasmodic torticollis or wry neck syndrome.

It appears Jane Doe's head was found near the Rend Lake area. I wonder if the rest of her remains are in the lake.
