October 24, 2025

Using clay, artistry and time-honored techniques, a forensic artist—in partnership with the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO)—produced this likeness of a woman murdered in 1973. The case was featured in the premiere episode of the agency’s video series Detective Desk – LCSO Cold Cases which you can view on Instagram or Facebook.

In addition to the 3D rendering, LCSO has additional images at their website of what Jane Doe may have looked like. (The photo is used with permission from the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office.)
