Mossleigh Jane Doe and Clarington Jane Doe

This week's podcast episode is about two Jane Does from the beautiful country of Canada. Here is some basic information about these two women and their stories.

The Mossleigh Jane Doe is the only name we have for a woman found in Mossleigh, Alberta, Canada. Mossleigh is an extremely small and rural town with a population of just over 50 people. The county Mossleigh is in, which is Vulcan County, has under 4,000 people. It’s about 60 kilometers from Calgary, which is one of the largest cities in Canada. Investigators found that the remains belonged to a female and had been deceased for one to five years. she had a healed fracture to her right cheekbone. She also had a button osteoma on the right side of her forehead.

This woman also had several missing teeth and likely wore an upper denture. She also could have had arthritis and neck pain during her life. She was between 5’2 and 5’6. She could have been anywhere from 40 and 80 years old. They believe she was either white or first nations for her ethnicity.

The Clarington Jane Doe was found in Bowmanville, Ontario on October 27, 2006. Just like our first case, this woman was found by a farmer who was harvesting dogwood plants in a marshy field. This was near the South Service Road and Holt Road, near the entrance Darlington Nuclear Plant. This Jane Doe was confirmed to be a woman after looking at her skull, femur, and other recovered bones. They also confirmed she was very young, just between 18 and 25 years old. The most unique quality about this woman was her teeth. She had protruding teeth and her upper teeth were more noticeable. Her jaws were also very narrow. One of her front teeth was slightly wider than the other. She also had white fillings on her front teeth, along with silver fillings in her back teeth.

Just like our first Jane Doe, this Jane Doe also had a healed fracture on her face, but hers was on her nose. They aren’t sure if this was from an injury or from a rhinoplasty, but they do know she had some type of fracture. They also found that her bones looked like she could have been anemic.
