Case History
The victim was located on April 8, 1954, near Boulder Falls, a popular tourist spot about nine miles up Boulder Canyon.
She was dumped 300 yards downstream from the parking area of Boulder Falls, popular with both residents and tourists. Her body was thrown from the road down a very steep 29' embankment and landed on rocks on the edge of the creek. Her body was not visible from the road because the embankment was so steep. She was found when 2 college students were jumping from rock to rock in the creek.
Neither her clothing nor other evidence were found, despite an extensive search of the area. Missing person reports circulating at the time, were checked out by the sheriff, without success. Few clues have surfaced to aid in identifying the woman.

April 2008 The results of the photo-superimposition of Katharine E. Farrand Dyer's photo with the cast of Jane Doe's skull do not exclude Katharine as Jane Doe. This is not a positive identification, but it allows Katharine to continue to be considered as the victim. No family members for Katharine have been found to get a DNA comparison.
