Hello Crimewatchers community! I am Sonnyphono, part of the team who solved the Tod Motor Doe case last year. We noticed that
some of our TMD work made it onto your forums and so we wanted to share our current work on the Brielle Jane Doe case.
u/MementoMori29 is currently writing a series of posts on what we have uncovered and if it's ok with the mods I would like to share that work here as well.
Resurrecting this Case with New Information -- Brielle Jane Doe (

Hey all:
This summer marked 15 years since Brielle Jane Doe ("BJD") was found deceased on the outskirts of a quiet New Jersey beach town. Her body strewn across train tracks in the falling rain.
A decade and a half has passed with little additional information on the case outside of a host of rule-outs.
For the better part of a year,
u/sonnyphono,
u/UnderoverThrowaway, and myself have mused about this case. As paradoxical as it sounds, there is all at once, lots of tantalizing tidbits and no real actionable information regarding the final days and identity of BJD. Late last year, Sonny and I were able to positively confirm the identity of Tod Motor Doe (more information on that incoming) and we started to get serious about Doe cases. Brielle Jane Doe is one of those cases.
In our spare time, the three of us have chased down publicly available leads, spoken to law enforcement, filed records request with some success and worked on the transferring of BJD's DNA to a reputable forensic genealogy company.
I am planning on using this forum to create a number of posts that will detail our work and specifically release new information and theories about her death and possible identity.
As of right now, BJD exists in a gray zone of being unidentified despite her DNA being both on file with the coroner's office and passing through the hands of two forensic genealogy organizations. This is becoming an increasingly rare instance in the world of John and Jane Does. And all three of us think that perhaps a more traditional investigatory method, along with more exposure and renewed pressure on law enforcement to release additional investigatory information may go a long way.
As we don't believe BJD's death was a suicide or an accident (to be discussed later), we feel strongly that somewhere out there today, right now, knows her true identity.
As we did in our Tod Motor Doe investigation, we will protect names and identities to prevent harassment or unwanted attention of individuals not suspected of involvement in this case. We hope that this sub picks up steam and is a place for discussion. If you are interested, please provide a link to this sub on forums or cross-post, just please let us know where you end up spreading it.
I'll post more in the coming days. Thanks for reading.
