Uncommon card · No. 175150

The St. Louis Jane Doe is an unidentified girl who was found murdered in the basement of an abandoned apartment building on February 28, 1983 in St. Louis, Missouri. She has also been nicknamed "Hope", "Precious Hope", and the "Little Jane Doe". The victim was estimated to be between eight and eleven when she was murdered and is believed to have been killed via strangulation. She was raped and decapitated. The brutality of the crime led to national attention. The victim was initially believed to have been a sex worker or a drug addict until police moved her body and discovered that she had not developed breasts, indicating she had not gone through puberty. The head of the Jane Doe has never been located, hindering dental examination and the possibility of a traditional facial reconstruction.
