Can you help identify this Jane Doe?
Our cold case database is in danger of no longer being maintained.
Two fishermen found a skull southwest of Eatonville on the north side of Mashell River where it crosses Mt. Highway. Investigators found additional remains and clothing.
Missing persons cases were compared with the unidentified case without success.
It isn't clear what happened to the remains. There is no indication in the Sheriff's Office records and the Coroner's records on the case are missing. The remains and clothing were destroyed on May 10, 1985.
There is speculation that the remains belong to Donna Gail Manson, a victim of serial killer Ted Bundy. Manson disappeared in 1974 from Olympia, Washington and wore similar clothing to this unidentified female. She could not conclusively be identified as Manson, yet could not be excluded based on dental records.
Despite the similarity with the clothing and some features, Manson was reportedly shorter. Bundy also claimed to have destroyed Manson's skull.
