"Bill"



After attending a party, a young woman was found unresponsive in Highland Park, Wayne County, Michigan on March 25, 1976. She had told others that her name was "Bill" and was a runaway from a group home in a different state, such as Ohio. Those she was with on the night of her death had known Bill for only a short time. She was approximately seventeen to twenty years old (although she may have been in a wider age range of fifteen to twenty-five) when she died and weighed 150 pounds (68 kg) at a height of five feet eight inches (173 cm). She had no detectable dental work on her teeth and wore a pair of pants with a pattern of black and white squares, maroon socks, a black or dark gray shirt and a black bra.[53] When Bill was found unresponsive, she was taken to a hospital where she was pronounced dead.[54] She had blueish-green eyes and shoulder length brown hair.[55] Her body was exhumed in November 2014 to obtain DNA information.[

Highland Park Jane Doe

The body of a female between fifteen and twenty-five years old was located in an alley in Highland Park, Wayne County, Michigan on May 20, 1996. The victim's cause of death has not been disclosed, but is considered a homicide.[10] The young woman was overweight, at 191 pounds (87 kg) at the height of 5 feet 3 inches (1.60 m). She is presumed to be a mix of white and African-American. Her hair was reddish-brown, curly and tied with a white bow in a ponytail. She wore a distinctive white shirt with yellow smiley faces, a white bra, white socks and black shoes, as well as a teddy-bear shaped wristwatch. Her eyes were brown, like her hair. The victim's teeth had three fillings and untreated decay, although none of them had been removed. She is also believed to have been a tobacco smoker. Other than this, she is believed to have been drug-free. She had O type blood and painted her nails, her fingernails were purple and her toenails were pink. Other distinguishing features included many freckles on her face and a scar under her right knee.[11] The victim also had pelvic inflammatory disease.
