Homicide Investigation Solves Other Cases
Found Bones Reopen, Solve Missing Persons Cases
Reported By Jonathan Martin

LAVERGNE, Tenn. -- There's a face reconstructed with clay, a bracelet and ring -- all big clues, but there are no solid answers more than a year later.
Still, every day, even when they're off, LaVergne police detectives keep at it, refusing to let this homicide go unsolved.

"This female has a mother, has a family, has a father, and we're trying to bring closure to a family that might not even know that their daughter is harmed," said Sgt. Mike Mullen.

It was November 2007. Detectives were searching for one woman and stumbled upon another woman in a wooded area in LaVergne. Police said they woman had been stabbed, shot in the head and tied up and that there was jewelry on her body.

Police said the woman was black, between 35 and 49 years old and had been dumped there sometime in summer 2007.

The question remains: Who is she?

"It's very important that we get this case closed," said Mullen.

The mystery surrounding the unidentified woman has recently brought closure to several middle Tennessee families.

For example, Evelyn Tate's loved ones thought she was the slain woman. A search by the LaVergne police found Tate was living in Atlanta.

Police said they've been able to solve several local missing person cases while investigating this homicide.

"It did make us feel good we was able to help those citizens that thought it was a family member, which we actually found live and well just in different parts of other states," said Mullen.

Still, the mystery of Jane Doe remains, and until a name is put with her face, justice is unlikely.

LaVergne police said "America's Most Wanted" is planning to do a segment on this case. Police hope that national exposure will provide a break in the case.
