  Authorities in Oklahoma have been trying to identify the remains of a murdered young woman for the past 25 years. Her case was aired on AMW back in the mid 90s as well as on AMW: Final Justice. On May 7, 1988, a fisherman looking for a spot to fish came across the remains of a white female, 25-30 years of age near a dam. A 28-pound cement block was tied with a cable around her waist. In 1994, local authorities with the help of AMW exhumed her body to create a better composite sketch of what she looked like before death. Despite a distinctive tattoo, sweater and metal bands, she to date has never identified. When AMW aired this case on Final Justice in late 95/early 96, authorities feared that the killer of Daisy Jane Doe was responsible for the murders of three other women found murdered off Oklahoma interstate highways between 1987 and 1994. None of these women were ever identified. I provide the links to Daisy Jane Doe and the other three women's profiles below. Thoughts? I would be willing to guess that at least the first three homicides are linked because they were found between 1987-1990. The 1994 victim may also be linked. It's most likely that a truck driver serial killer is responsible. Whether he was arrested and convicted for another crime is unknown. Admin Note #1: Daisy Jane Doe has now been identified as Jeanette Ellen Coleman. According to articles, anybody who has information about her life or her death, is encouraged to contact Cherokee County Undersheriff Jason Chennault at (918) 456-2583 or Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation Agent Vicky Lyons at (918) 456-0653.Admin Note #2: If you have any news-related updates on this case, please contact us here: amwfans.com/thread/1662/website-contact-formdoenetwork.org/cases/28ufok.html (Daisy Jane Doe, died five days earlier) www.doenetwork.org/cases/249ufok.html (Jane Doe found in 1987, died one month earlier) www.doenetwork.org/cases/263ufok.html (Jane Doe found in 1990, died between 1985-1989) www.doenetwork.org/cases/722ufok.html (Jane Doe found in 1994, died a few weeks earlier. Witness noticed a man dragging an object wrapped in a plastic bag near where the victim was found. The man was driving a Chevrolet Blazer with an Arkansas license plate.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVXU1-oVEo0 (Final Justice profile) |

One thing I'd like to know is if officials ever explored the possibility of a connection between this and the Norma Helmig case. (Although Me, Derek, and most posters here probably know, for any casual observer reading this, in a rarity, AMW devoted a full one-hour episode to clear a man they thought was innocent, Dale Helmig, who was convicted of killing his mother Norma despite multiple evidence it was someone else. Helmig was exonerated last year.) According to the link below "Her body, weighted with a cinder block, was found in the flooded Osage River between Jefferson City and Linn on Aug. 1, 1993." This was Missouri and not Oklahoma however this was still the midwest, and this fits the time frame of the killings. I'd be really interested in knowing if this was ever looked into. www.stlbeacon.org/#!/content/18483/an_innocent_man_convicted_of_murdering_his_mother_dale_helmig_continues_to_fight_to_clear_his_name (copying and pasting should get the link to work) |

Glad you brought that up Scumhunter because I certainly didn't recall it. I remember very little of the hour-long Dale Helmig specials, only that a witness came forward after the first broadcast. It fits the timeline nicely so perhaps there is a connection.

Norma's husband (and Dale's father) came across as a shady character and seemed to be the only other possible suspect, but he also did agree to be interviewed and was forthcoming for a guy who many people seemed suspicious of.
It could just be a coincidence, but I think it would be worth taking a look.

It could just be a coincidence, but I think it would be worth taking a look. I'm getting off topic but I just found out that Ted Helmig (Norma's husband) died at the age of 81 last March. So it won't appear that if Ted killed Norma that the case will ever be officially closed. www.millardfamilychapels.com/fh/obituaries/obituary.cfm?o_id=2034992&fh_id=10506 |

Thanks for the update. Wasn't aware. But getting back on topic, if amazingly the Daisy Jane Doe killer had something to do with it, they would of course have to find out who this guy is to get closure as well.

I have a another possible theory that I think should be explored about Daisy Jane Doe. In the case of Dale Helmig's mom, it's really only the cinder block that got my attention. There's another unrelated case (or possible unrelated case), I wonder if it should be looked into as a possibility. Last month, a suspected serial killer by the name of Gregory Breeden died in a motel. Breeden was charged in 1996 with the murder of Viola McCoy. Her mutilated body was found in the Missouri river in 1994. Police say McCoy's slaying was similar to that of six other women, most of them known prostitutes whose bodies were dumped in the Missouri River between August 1986 and September 1994. In 1999, the murder charge was dropped after a key witness refused to testify. Missouri is pretty close to Oklahoma in the Midwest. Although many of the potential victims of the Daisy Jane Doe killer were found on land, Daisy Jane was found near a dam. Not to mention, the time frame. The suspected possible victims of the Daisy Jane Doe killer are 1987-1994. Breeden's alleged victims- 1986-1994.

Off topic and I would have to re-check the old website but I swear I saw the unsolved murders of the Kansas City women on a 2002 episode listing. Anyway, this is something that Oklahoma authorities should look into, as the similarities Scumhunter mentioned are quite intriguing. In regards to the 1994 Oklahoma Jane Doe, it would be interesting to know if Gregory Breedan had access to a Chevrolet Blazer with Arkansas license plates around the time of that murder.

You are correct; the Missouri River Serial Killer was profiled in August 2002 during a special Kansas City edition of the show. AMW also profiled the Unknown Ali Kemp Killer, Precious Doe and missing person Tabitha Brewer on that show. |

Wow! You really never know what the truth behind these Jane/John Doe mysteries will be sometimes. Granted it hasn't been proven that her husband was involved in her murder but I find it to be quite interesting. |

Wow, I am still shocked that Caledonia Jane Doe has been identified. Now this. Gives me some hope.
