Popes Island Jane Doe was a woman found murdered in Massachusetts in 1996.
Case[]
The victim was shot a total 12 times and was struck in the face. The body was disposed of in the Popes Island Marina, after being wrapped in two green garbage bags and a white and blue blanket. The body appeared to have floated from where it was originally dumped.
She may have been an illegal immigrant from Belarus, not only because of her general appearance but for her ring, which came from the former Soviet republic.
The style of the blanket suggests she or her killer may have been involved with a fishing boat.
