Burlington County Jane Doe’s remains were discovered on Oct. 26, 2004 in a wooded area in Mount Laurel, Burlington County, New Jersey.
She was estimated to be 25-35 years old at the time of her death. She was found wearing distinctive clothing including a leopard print scarf, Hilfiger jean shorts or skirt, white Nike youth sneakers size 5.5 and a black purse or black pocketbook containing Kleenex pack and nail file.
After many attempts to obtain a DNA profile for Jane Doe, Astrea Forensics' work resulted in a genealogy profile that has been uploaded to accessible investigative genetic genealogy databases.
Jane Doe's genetic relatives indicate she is likely of the Turkic ethnic group, possibly from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, or another country in central Eurasia.

“Getting her face and the details of her case out to the public—especially groups where people from her community may see her—will be the key to bringing Burlington County Jane Doe "home" to her loved ones,” said Cairenn Binder, Assistant Director of the IGG Center and the Director of the IGG Certificate Program.
