http://www.oregonlive.com/metrosouth/orego...96653734940.xml Forensic artist puts a face on 1971 mystery Deputies hope a model by the Clackamas County artist will help them identify remains found 33 years ago Thursday, October 28, 2004 EMILY TSAO OREGON CITY -- More than three decades ago, a father and son made a discovery that remains a mystery today. While camping in Josephine County, the pair came across the remains of a young woman, partly hidden under branches. They found bones, tattered clothes, a skull and long auburn hair. In her jeans pockets were 38 cents and a California map. Time had eroded the woman's face and her identity. This week, Clackamas County forensic artist Joyce Nagy gave the unidentified woman a face. "You do what the bones tell you," Nagy said. Nagy's police work is unlike any other in the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office. She uses pencils, paper and clay to solve crimes. Since July 2003, Nagy, who lives in Oregon City, has served as a full-time forensic artist, one of a handful of professionals throughout the country who can make that claim. It's a job that requires her to be part artist, part counselor and part detective. Because of her rare skill, she offers her sketching and sculpting services to other police agencies throughout the state. Nagy, 38, had practiced sculpting with other skulls. The woman found in 1971 near the California-Oregon border is her first real case. Deputies at the Josephine County Sheriff's Office still remember "Jane Doe," the only unidentified body in the county. "We want to find her a home," said Deputy Kari Babson. Detective Sgt. Ken Selig said the county started reviewing cold cases last year and added her description to a national database. But it was Selig's work on another unidentified person's case that led him to Nagy. "I didn't want a drawing," Selig said. "Drawings are two-dimensional." And Nagy was offering her help for free. In September, Josephine County shipped the skull to Nagy in a bowling ball box via UPS. The skull had been carefully packed "like fine china," surrounded by tufts of soft cotton, Nagy said. Nagy named the skull "Annie" because the name seemed to fit the fragile features. Nagy first took the skull to her dentist, who replaced missing teeth and reset the jawbone. Over the next several weeks, Nagy referred to a textbook to determine the depth of tissue on Annie's face. The textbook provided specific depths for different races, different genders and different body types. Investigators had already determined from Annie's clothes that she was about 125 pounds and about 5 feet 4 inches tall. They also determined she was about 20 years old. Nagy carefully measured pencil erasers and placed them on the skull to mark tissue depth, then began to create the face. Much of Nagy's work takes place in her office, which has the feel of an artist's studio. Soothing classical music plays in the background. Tablecloths soften the look of sterile office furniture. A desk lamp provides gentle lighting. The walls tinted a light pink provide a calming effect. Nevermind that the county jail sits across the driveway. Nagy said she tries to make her office feel comfortable and cozy for a reason. As she works with victims and witnesses to create a sketch of an assailant, a burglar or a rapist, she also serves as a counselor. She sometimes serves crime victims coffee or tea as they work together. "It makes them feel a little better," she said. She's done sketches for police departments in West Linn, Tualatin and across the state. Nagy said she had aspired to be a coroner and ended up in a career that reflects her parents' influence. Her late father, James Brouillette, was deputy chief for the Portland Police Bureau. Her late mother, Dorothy, was an oil painter. Inside Nagy's office, "Annie" rests on a pedestal, staring out with her lips slightly parted. From about 10 pounds of "flesh tone" clay, Nagy's fingers have created a face for Annie. Nagy found green-gray glass eyes from the auction of a doctor's estate on eBay. "Her eyes are mismatched," Nagy pointed out. "We don't know the real color of her eyes." Her eyelashes are cosmetic ones from Fred Meyer. The model has no ears. But that's because Annie's long auburn hair (a $7.99 Halloween wig from K-mart) would have covered it up anyway. Annie wears a white turtleneck from Goodwill and a woven plaid blazer from Sears. The clothes are similar to those she was wearing 33 years ago, Nagy said. Nagy bought the clothing with her own money and plans to wear them some day. Nagy said she hopes someone will be able to recognize Annie from the model. "Her family could be anywhere," Nagy said. |

http://www.kptv.com/Global/story.asp?S=2493747 Forensic artist brings to life 33-year-old skull 10-28-04 OREGON CITY -- In 1971, a father and son made a gruesome discovery on a camping trip in Josephine County when they happened across the remains of young woman. Her auburn hair was still intact, as was a map of California found in her pocket. But for 33 years, the woman -- nicknamed "Jane Doe" by the county sheriff's office -- remained unclaimed. Hers is the only unidentified body in the county. This week, in a final effort to put the young woman to rest, Clackamas County forensic artist Joyce Nagy gave her a face. Nagy uses pencils, paper and clay to solve crimes. Then, she does "what the bones tell you," she said. Nagy, who lives in Oregon City, is one of a handful of professionals throughout the country who can make that claim. "We want to find her a home," said Josephine County Deputy Kari Babson. So in September, Josephine County shipped the skull to Nagy in a bowling ball box via UPS. The skull had been carefully packed "like fine china," surrounded by tufts of soft cotton, Nagy said.

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?...1835EST0070.DTL Police hope face reconstructed from skull yields tips, clues Sunday, November 21, 2004 (11-21) 15:35 PST MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) -- Police hope to close a 33-year-old homicide investigation after a forensic artist volunteered to assist a "cold case" team and reconstructed a woman's face from a skull that was found near the California border. The remains were kept in a Grants Pass evidence warehouse until earlier this year, when Josephine County sheriff's Sgt. Ken Selig began sifting through a list of unsolved "cold cases." He contacted forensic artist Joyce Nagy at the Clackamas County sheriff's department in Oregon City after learning about her work through a mutual acquaintance. Nagy used her skills to build a face for the unidentified woman, who police believe was 19 or 20 when she died. "I got a skull and a medical examiner's report to work with," said Nagy. "It's a small skull, and I decided to name her 'Annie' because she seemed so delicate." The remains were discovered in August 1971 along Highway 199 near the California border. Investigators do not know what led to the young woman's death, but suspect it occurred at least a few months before her remains were found by hikers in August 1971. She estimated to be about 19 to 20 years old. Detectives worked with other police agencies along the West Coast but the case grew cold when no viable leads were established. The only items found in the woman's pockets were 38 cents and a map of Northern California recreational sites. "It's just a big, huge mystery," Selig said. "But this sort of case doesn't just go away. We keep homicide cases, basically, forever." When Nagy offered to reconstruct the woman's face as a free "professional courtesy" to Josephine County investigators, Selig jumped at the chance. The skull was carefully packed into a bowling ball box and mailed to Nagy in August. She studied the medical examiner's report to get a mental picture of what the woman might have looked like, then went right to work. Nagy took the skull to her own dentist, who reset the jawbone and gave it two plastic front teeth. She covered the skull with more than 10 pounds of flesh-colored clay and went shopping for hair, eyes and some clothing that matched what Annie was wearing when her remains were discovered. Nagy picked up an auburn-colored Halloween wig at Kmart, a white turtleneck at Goodwill and a plaid blazer at Sears. Annie's hazel eyes were found on eBay, even though the true color of the woman's eyes is unknown. "I used hazel because they're neutral," Nagy said. Overall, Nagy estimates spending about 80 hours perfecting Annie's look. When Selig saw the results in late October, he was more than satisfied. Now both he and Nagy are hoping the reconstructed face will trigger the memory of someone, somewhere. "I thought it was just fantastic," Selig said. "She did an incredible job." |

http://www.mailtribune.com/archive/2004/11...ies/07local.htm November 21, 2004 Josephine County sheriff’s Sgt. Ken Selig reopened a cold case in which a young woman’s decomposed remains were found in 1971 off Highway 199 near the state line. A Clackamas County sheriff’s forensic artist fleshed out the skull. Mail Tribune / Jim Craven Mystery gets a face: Forensic artist gives features to 1971 bones By JACK MORAN Mail Tribune Talk about your ultimate makeovers. When Joyce Nagy got hold of "Annie," she already understood the job would entail more than a little makeup, hair and some new clothes. Forget the facelift — Annie didn’t even have a face. It was Nagy’s job to give her one. "I got a skull and a medical examiner’s report to work with," recalled Nagy, a forensic artist employed by the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office. "It’s a small skull, and I decided to name her ‘Annie’ because she seemed so delicate. "I was excited. I don’t want to call it an opportunity, but things like this are few and far between." With some creative assistance from Nagy, detectives in Josephine County hope to close the book on a 33-year-old mystery that began in 1971 with the discovery of Annie’s remains alongside Highway 199 near the Oregon-California border. "I figure this has to be a good thing," Josephine County sheriff’s Sgt. Ken Selig said of Nagy’s involvement in the case. "Hopefully, it will produce some good results." The remains of Annie — whose true identity is unknown — were kept in a Grants Pass evidence warehouse until earlier this year, when Selig began sifting through a list of unsolved "cold cases." He learned of Nagy through a mutual acquaintance and decided to let her use her artistic skills to build a face for the unidentified woman, who police believe was 19 or 20 when she died. Investigators do not know what led to the young woman’s death, but suspect it occurred at least a few months before her remains were found in August 1971. Selig said her intestines were partially mummified when a man and his son found her while hiking in a wooded area near the highway. Detectives in 1971 worked with other police agencies along the West Coast but the case grew cold when no viable leads were established. The only items found in the woman’s pockets were 38 cents and a map of Northern California recreational sites. "It’s just a big, huge mystery," Selig said. "But this sort of case doesn’t just go away. We keep homicide cases, basically, forever." So when Nagy offered to reconstruct the woman’s face as "a professional courtesy" to Josephine County investigators, Selig jumped at the chance. "Free is a good price," he said. The skull was carefully packed into a bowling ball box and mailed to Nagy in August. When it arrived at her office, Nagy’s first order of business was to give the skull a name. "The reason I named it is because it made it more human," she said. "It is human — I didn’t want to just call it ‘the skull I got from Josephine County.’ " She studied the medical examiner’s report to get a mental picture of what the woman might have looked like, then went right to work. Nagy took the skull to her own dentist, who reset the jawbone and gave it two plastic front teeth. She covered the skull with more than 10 pounds of flesh-colored clay and went shopping for hair, eyes and some clothing that matched what Annie was wearing when her remains were discovered. Nagy picked up an auburn-colored Halloween wig at Kmart, a white turtleneck at Goodwill and a plaid blazer at Sears. Annie’s hazel eyes were found on eBay, even though the true color of the woman’s eyes is unknown. "I used hazel because they’re neutral," Nagy said. "The glass eyes look so much more human than mannequin or doll eyes." In total, Nagy estimates spending about 80 hours perfecting Annie’s look. When Selig saw the results in late October, he was more than satisfied. "I thought it was just fantastic," he said. "She did an incredible job." Both Selig and Nagy are hoping the reconstructed face will trigger the memory of someone, somewhere. Nagy said she might get emotional if her work helps bring closure to a family tortured by the disappearance of a loved one. "To me, Annie’s become like an adopted sister," she said. "Helping solve this case is the ultimate goal. It would just be incredible to get somebody home after they’ve been gone 33 years. I’d probably cry." Who is she? The remains of "Annie" were discovered Aug. 19, 1971, three miles north of the Oregon-California border in southwest Josephine County. Police believe the unidentified young woman was 19 or 20 years old. She stood about 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighed around 125 pounds. The woman had shoulder-length auburn hair with blond highlights and crooked teeth. She was found wearing a checkered pink-and-beige blazer, a tan turtleneck, blue jeans and brown shoes. Anyone with information about the woman’s identity is asked to call the Josephine County sheriff’s Major Crime Unit at 474-5153 or the sheriff’s confidential tip line at 474- 5160. Reach reporter Jack Moran at 776-4459, or e-mail jmoran@mailtribune.com |

http://wivb.com/2017/04/12/1971-oregon-col...ve-ties-to-wny/ 1971 Oregon cold case Jane Doe may have ties to WNY By Katie Alexander, News 4 Reporter Published: April 12, 2017, 9:10 am Updated: April 12, 2017, 12:44 pm CAVE JUNCTION, Ore. (WIVB) – Investigators in Josephine County Oregon want Western New Yorkers to take a good look at a new artist rendering of the face of the victim in a decades old cold case. New forensic tests have shown she may be from our area. The victim was found at a campsite in Cave Junction, Oregon, in 1971. Investigators are still searching for answers about who she was and what happened to her. “We all have major cases that stay with you, even after you retire, and Annie is one of them,” said Wes Curtis, a retired detective with the Josephine County Sheriff’s Office. The victim was nicknamed “Annie” because the initials A.L. were found scratched on the surface of the mother of pearl ring she was wearing when her body was found. She was also wearing a pink and beige coat, jeans, and leather shoes with gold buckles. For decades, her identity has remained a mystery, but new forensic isotope testing is offering a new lead. “Those stable isotopes will develop in someone’s body based on food intake, and based on water intake in the geographic location in which you live,” explained Nici Vance, a forensic anthropologist with the Oregon State Police, in a video released by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children about the Jane “Annie” Doe case. “Your signature in the isotope compounds in your body will give us an indication of where you grew up, where you have recently been,” Vance added. Looking at the isotope compounds in Jane “Annie” Doe’s hair, bones and teeth, investigators believe that she may have grown up in the northeast corner of the United States before heading west into the Great Lakes region, likely staying along the U.S-Canadian border. That’s why they’re asking everyone here in Western New York to take a good look at what they have in this case, to see whether it rings any bells. The girl was 14 to 25 years old when she died, found wearing a pink and beige waist length coat, a tan long-sleeved turtleneck blouse with a neckline zipper, a pair of Wrangler jeans (size misses 13-14 slim) and a pair of square-toed brown leather shoes with gold buckles. Jewelry found with the girl include a Mother of Pearl ring with the letters “A L” scratched into the surface and coins dated 1970. A decomposed map of Northern California camping facilities was found in her right rear pocket. If you have any idea who the girl is, you are urged to call the Josephine County Sheriff’s Office at 1-541-474-5123, the Oregon State Medical Examiner 1-971-673-8300, or the The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5678. |
