STILL ANONYMOUS— On May 10, 1950, a mushroom picker named Benjamin Mills discovered the nude body of a redheaded woman that had been discarded down an embankment (known by locals as "Lovers Leap") on a secluded section of US 522 just outside of Berkeley Springs, WV. An autopsy revealed that the female had been strangled with a rope or similar means of asphyxiation in addition to being beaten.

She is described as being between the ages of 30-40 years, 5’5” tall and weighing 125-130 pounds. She has the following identifiable scars: a Y shaped scar on the outside of her right wrist, a W shaped scar on her forehead, a 4” appendectomy scar and a 10” hysterectomy scar. Though her eye color was unable to be identified, she did have red hair and freckles on her arms and hands.
