RCMP seek help in identifying Pickton victim
Police involved in the continuing job of identifying women slain by B.C. serial killer Robert Pickton are asking for the public's help.
On Feb. 23, 1995, a hiker filling a water bottle from a creek just south of Highway 7, about 800 metres east of the Ruskin Bridge in Mission, discovered a partial skull with an attached vertebra, the RCMP said.
Experts in forensic anthropology, biology, forensic entomology, forensic odontology and human anatomy analyzed the remains in an effort to identify them, the release said.
In August 2002, bones recovered during the search of Pickton's farm in Port Coquitlam were confirmed to be genetically linked to the partial skull.
Investigators worked with a forensic sketch artist with the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation to develop a composite drawing based on what was learned from her skull by all the experts who had examined it.
Her DNA profile was provided to every laboratory in Canada, and the composite drawings shared with Interpol’s 188 member countries for comparison with their missing person files.
Here is what investigators have been able to determine about Jane Doe:
