The story of St. Louis Jane Doe is eerie. It truly saddens me that her case hasn't been solved.

As much as I hate hearing the awful details of these stories, I cannot turn away from them & I'm glad you're bringing light to them. I can't even begin to imagine how many untold/unsolved stories of young Black women, children, men & elders are out there. Really really great content!

I have known about this case for years when i first read about it in a book, but what i never knew much about until now was the context of racial relations in the city, you are the first person i have seen that discusses it and it helps knowing about that too to understand why some might have stayed silent. I too wonder if she was an undocumented child (i had thought maybe a migrant, or like you said a child born in a brothel or into trafficking conditions). She is probably one of the Does i want to be identified the most. Thank you so much.
