St Louis’ Little Jane Doe

part 3: Suspects

--

The past two weeks I’ve been writing about St Louis’ Little Jane Doe. If you haven’t read those two pieces, I recommend doing so to avoid confusion.

Before we start, please be aware this case deals with the sexual abuse of a child and subsequent murder of the same. If any of this is triggering for you, please take a pass on this article.

The victim usually tells you who killed, either by the evidence left on the body or by their connections. In the immediate aftermath of Jane Doe’s grisly death detectives were looking for similar MOs across the country.

Every year on the anniversary Detective Joe Burgoon sent out a teletype to all departments across the country hoping for something. He did this for nearly ten years, when he was told that it was too expensive to continue.
