Do you know Jane Doe? Marion County Sheriff Tim Bailey and Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine released pictures of this model Wednesday in hopes of identifying a woman whose body was found in 2007.

MARION, Ohio - Law enforcement officials hope a clay model created by a forensic artist will help identify a woman whose skeletal remains were found in 2007.

Marion County Sheriff Tim Bailey and Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine on Wednesday released pictures of the facial reconstruction.

The woman, known only as Jane Doe, is believed to have been the first victim of suspected serial killer Shawn Grate, who was arrested in September.

Grate has denied two murder charges and a kidnapping charge in the deaths of two Ashland women. Authorities have said he is a suspect in at least three other killings, including the death of Jane Doe.

In that case, Grate confessed to the murder and provided details of the case to sheriff's investigators that convinced them he was telling the truth, Bailey said during a news conference in September.

But Grate said he couldn't remember the woman's name and investigators don't have much information to go on other than physical characteristics.

"The problem that you start off with this crime is that you don't have an identification of the body so there is no starting point," Bailey said in September. "I don't know if she came from Mexico or California or the neighboring county, so its very difficult to solve a case when you don't have a place to start."

The woman's remains were found northeast of Marion about 100 feet off a township road.

Investigators believe she was white, between 5'3" and 5'9" and between 100 to 150 pounds. She may have had brown hair. She is thought to have been 15 to 22 years old at the time of her death.

Her teeth were all well cared for and had no obvious dental work or fillings. No clothing, jewelry, or other items were found with the remains.

Investigators ask that anyone who sees a resemblance between the model and a missing friend or relative contact the Marion County Sheriff's Lt. Christy Utley at 740-382-8244 ext. 5120.
