Case History
The victim was discovered by a passing motorist at 10am in a Caledonia, NY cornfield on November 9, 1979. She was found about 20 ft. from the south side of Route 20, about ½ mile from the intersection of Route 5.
She died of two gunshot wounds; one to the back and one to the right temple. The coroner estimated that she was killed the previous night, (November 8) and that the gunshot wound to her back was inflicted prior to the head wound. Some theorize that the victim was attempting to flee from her attacker(s) as she was shot from behind.
The murder weapon was proven to be a .38 caliber revolver; it was never recovered, however.

Additional Case Information
Locale of Region
Caledonia, NY is located in the Finger Lakes region of the state and is close in proximity to the Canadian border. Some theories about the victim's identity include the possibility that she was not American, but Canadian. Searches of the Canadian missing persons' databases have not provided any information on a possible ID match for this victim.

Tanned Complexion of the Victim
According to The E-clipse Network, there were few tanning salons available in either the US or Canada in 1979; therefore, it is believed that this victim had recently vacationed somewhere tropical or was from a region more conducive to tanning in November.

Clothing Manufacturer
The E-clipse Network reports that Auto Sports Products, the manufacturer of the victim's windbreaker, apparently did not exist in the US or Canada in 1979. This does not necessarily mean that the company was not of American or Canadian origin; some corporations do not have public directory listings for various reasons.
