Perry County Jane Doe is also known as the "Girl with the Turquoise Jewelry". Her skeletal remains were found on Rt. 322 Eastbound, along the side of the Juniata River, near Newport. Police hoped her clothing and unique turquoise jewelry would help them to quickly identify her, but she has remained nameless. Recent testing has indicated that she may have visited the Southwest in the months prior to her death which seems to match her turquoise jewelry.
