Annie Lehman (Jane "Annie" Doe) crime scene
USA

This area of woods south of Cave Junction, Oregon marks the approximate location of where the remains of a young woman were discovered on August 19, 1971 by a father & son who were out mushroom hunting.  Upon initial discovery, she was found partially concealed & significantly decomposed w/ her bones scattered over a large area (likely from wild animals).  This area is known for being a dump (& still is very much so today - even found a few drug needles).

Who the young woman was remained unknown & the case eventually went inactive w/ her remains stored in a box in police custody.  Then in 2004 a deputy made a facial reconstruction of her & nicknamed her Jane "Annie" Doe, yet despite a few new leads coming in, her identity remained unknown.  In 2016 forensic isotope analysis narrowed down her geographic origin, with links to Canada, England, & New Zealand.  Then two years later in 2018, the DNA Doe Project compared her profile to voluntary individuals who submit their DNA & was informed of a potential match with a sister named Virginia in Washington state.  After contacting the sister, the DNA test revealed a match & Jane "Annie" Doe was identified as Anne Marie Lehman in March 2019, over 47 years since her remains were found.  It is highly likely this case is a homicide, & having visited this eerily secluded location near Highway 199 it seems all the more fitting for a crime.  (Side note: Near to this photo are stacks of rocks piled up almost resembling a burial site, even though it probably isn't.)

 

Some additional info below:

 

Disappearance:

Lehman went missing in 1971 at age 16 from Aberdeen, Washington in the winter or spring. The circumstances surrounding her case are unclear, although it is rumored she was a victim of human trafficking.

However, her sister, Virginia, recalls seeing her sister packing luggage. Virginia asked why her sister was packing her stuff, and where Annie was going. Annie told Virginia, "with her." Annie then motioned to a slightly older woman. The woman was tracked down and told a relative Annie had been possibly taken to San Francisco, and that she was sold into the sex trade.

(Another source told me that the sisters had an alcoholic father, which may have contributed to a turbulent household.  Even after Annie's disappearance, there seemed to be no concern or awareness by the parents, even up to their deaths in the 1990s.)

 

Discovery: 

Lehman's scattered remains were found by a man and his son, while they were mushroom hunting off the Redwood Highway, near mile marker thirty-five.

The area is known as a dump, near the California-Oregon border, and Lehman's remains were somewhat covered in debris. She was nicknamed after the musical production "Annie" because of her auburn-brown hair, by artist Joyce Nagy, who created clay and two-dimensional renderings.

It is unknown what circumstances led to her presence in Oregon.

 

Examination:

An examination of Lehman's remains revealed several clues and characteristics.

Her teeth were slightly crooked, and her front incisors were "buck teeth," the teeth also protruded slightly. She also had amalgam fillings in four of her molars. Based on her third molar development, it is likely she was 14 - 22, as opposed to 14 - 25.

Her hair color was a natural auburn to reddish-brown with blond, dyed streaks, as some hair was found with the remains, which was the only thing known about her physical appearance, as well as DNA analysis revealed she may have had brown eyes.

Based on measurements of Lehman's remains, she is believed to have been 5'2 - 5'9, and about 125 pounds.

 

Clothing:

Lehman's remains were clothed in unique jewelry and clothes, such as a pair of jeans, a turtleneck sweater, and brown slip-on shoes.

The brown slip-on shoes Lehman was wearing were a size 8 1/2, which would be about size 8.5 in decimals. The shoes were "PRIMSTYLE" brand and had gold buckles. The shoes were dark brown. Lehman was found wearing a checkered, hounds-tooth waist-length coat. The coat had an alternating pink and brown, with a belt on it. There were several red-brown buttons on it as well. The blue Wrangler jeans she was wearing were size 13-14, typically for a slim, skinny person.

Her turtleneck sweater was tan or beige and had a zipper in the back. The Lovable brand bra was 34B, the color of white, and consistent with a mesomorph body. She was also wearing striped underwear with shades of purple, blue, and white.

 

Jewelry:

Lehman was found with two unique pieces of jewelry; a silver "STERLING" ring, and a mother of pearl ring. The silver ring was Sterling brand and had the letters M-H stamped into it. This ring is considered a friendship band, and it can also be a pre-engagement band for a relationship. The other ring was a mother of pearl stone with a silver braid, and the letters "A.L," scratched into the stone.

More About USA

The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.
