On October 8, 1978 an unidentified deceased female was found floating in the water of Lake Harris about one-tenth of a mile north of the south end of the Howey Bridge. Lake Harris is located in the Lake Harris Recreation Area in Leesburg, FL. It is estimated she had been deceased for days. The decedent was a black female, believed to be approximately 16 - 18 years old. She is believed to have been approximately 5'4" - 5'5" tall and weighed 100 - 120 pounds. She had cropped black hair and brown eyes. Her ears were pierced, but she was not wearing earrings. Her fingernails were extremely short with red polish on both her fingernails and toenails. Her teeth were in good repair. The image above is a facial reconstruction complete by a NCMEC Forensic Artist and depicts what the female may have looked like in life.

Thoughts? I am placing Lake County Jane Doe's case in the Unsolved on TV section since In Pursuit with John Walsh's Facebook page made a posting about it yesterday (see the show's May 8th, 2019 status updates).
