In February 1915 a body (believed to be a teenage girl) was found in the basement of a home on 133 s 14th st, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. A plumber was going to lay a sewer in the basement and the skeletal remains were found underneath the stairs from the outside access. The stairs had to be removed in order to get to the body. so the killer would have removed them also. The grave was shallow and was 2 by 3 ft. This would mean the girl was doubled up or her remains dismembered. The skull seemed to have evidence of an injury with a sharp object like a hatchet. Her remains had been burned and quicklime was poured on the body. It's believed she could be dead for around 10 to 15 years.
Jane Doe was a teenage girl around 16-year-old. She had chestnut brown hair. a piece of cloth was found with the body and it's thought of being similar to the end of an apron string possibly made out of white muslin.
