hello everyone and welcome back to another True Crime Mysteries video thank you all for being here
today we're discussing three more cold cases of Jane and John Doe's recently identified and
the Mysteries surrounding their deaths let's get into it number three Patricia Greenwood
March 30th 1980 marked A Dark Day in the history books Lake Erie Ohio that morning the Sandusky
Police responded to a call about a bizarre object floating at the Lake's Edge as they approached
Cedar Point officers realized the gravity of the situation backup was requested and the area was
cordoned off from nosy residence unfortunately there's limited information about the discovery
according to the Detroit Free Press the Sandusky Police Department found the body of a young woman
she was aged 20 to 30 she was five foot five and 120 pounds wearing what they described as a
disco style dress slumped at the edge of Lake Erie the discovery rocked the community and
investigators immediately set about identifying their victim unfortunately this initial piece of
the investigation would never come to be Sandusky Police did not release the woman's manner of death
which remains a point of contention an autopsy revealed that the woman had several broken
bones her femur pelvis and jaw were all shattered however the medical examiner couldn't be sure if
injuries had happened pre or post-mortem several press releases and conferences were held but
nobody recognized the young woman in the size 12 disco dress the case immediately went stale there
were no scars jewelry pieces or other identifying features on her body in time the woman was buried
as the Erie County Jane Doe there was no date of birth to Adorn her grave just March 30th 1980.
the Sandusky Police Department never gave up on the Erie County Jane Doe both limited evidence
and resources the case could not progress it would take decades for the name Erie County Jane Doe to
appear in the media again but there was good news this time in late 2021 the porch light project a
non-profit organization that helps to fund the solving of coal cases announced they would be
willing to pay for the new DNA testing in the Erie County Jane Doe case by 2021 genetic genealogy
was beginning to Peak and the Sandusky Police Department believed this may be their only chance
to close this case once and for all shortly after accepting the donation the woman's remains were
sent to bode technology in Virginia for further DNA analysis unfortunately this kind of testing
isn't instantaneous technicians worked exceedingly hard to research repair and test samples for years
almost two years later in March 2023 Sandusky Police Department and the porch light project
announced that the Erie County Jane Doe have been identified as 31 year old Patricia Eleanor
Greenwood the announcement came on March 30th 43 years to the day since she was discovered
analysis found Patricia after discovering that she was one of 12 children who had been given up
for adoption Patricia was born in 1948 in Michigan and has lived in traversity Bay City and Saginaw
Patricia was never reported missing and her siblings last saw her in 1979. the Sandusky
Police Department is still working on Patricia's Cold Case and while she has been identified as
anything but closed according to Patricia's sister she may have been a sex worker at the time of her
death and the Sandusky Police Department believed that Patricia met with Foul Play unfortunately no
one in her family had a photograph of Patricia and law enforcement is hoping to find anyone
who knew her to come forward as they'd like to get a better picture of what her life was like
hopefully with that information they can be one step closer to finding her killer
Nick Edwards a board member for project porchlight gave this statement to the
media regarding Patricia's case quote being able to give Patricia Greenwood her name back
is the first step in finding the justice that she deserves thank you to the brilliant Folks
at Bode for the wonderful work that they do Bode continues to impress and their assistance
to those in law enforcement is making it more difficult for bad people to get away with bad
things the Sandusky Police Department never gave up on this victim even after all these years now
it's time for the public to come together and provide information about Patricia Greenwood
to the detectives Patricia needs your help the investigation interpretricious murder continues
and if you have any information you're asked to contact the Sandusky Police Department at
419-627-5980 please have turned the page in case number 9379 but there are still more questions at
this point we don't know where she went missing from we're hoping that someone may see this and
have known Patricia or her family and hopefully from there we can kind of retrace backwards the
steps of her life old-fashioned police work coupled with new technology helping to bring
answers to families there's still a lot of people that are buried under John Doe and Jane Doe
that are in plots all over Northeast Ohio that's still you know their voices have never been heard
number two Claudette Jean zabolski Powers it was on February 16 1986 when hikers
along the Pacific Crest Trail made a grisly Discovery at the Los Coyotes Indian Reservation
The partially decomposed body of a woman lay at the edge of the campsite San Diego County
Sheriff's Office was immediately dispatched to the scene and began their investigation moments
later the San Diego County Sheriff's Office received a call that would change everything
14 miles from where the female victim was there was found a man in a similar condition
both victims were wearing thick jackets and layers of clothing the similarities were too
apparent to ignore and investigators knew they had to identify both bodies before their killer could
be identified law enforcement has withheld a lot of information in both of these cases the manner
of death of the man found 14 miles away has never been released to preserve the investigation's
integrity detectives struggled to make any Headway in either case there was very little evidence and
the evidence the sdcso did have was being withheld from the media her murder floated through the
media for a few weeks before interest fizzled out for decades her case would go untouched but
the San Diego County Sheriff's Office knew there was family out there looking for their loved one
in 2023 the San Diego County Sheriff's Office turned to genetic genealogy a
sample of the woman's hair was submitted for analysis on websites such as 23andMe and Jed
match according to CBS quote using this DNA analysis as well as Census records and other
public information detectives were able to build family trees and track down relatives
investigators had now identified the family tree and all they had to do was find the missing link
shortly after her DNA was submitted law enforcement identified the Jane Doe as Claudette
Jean zabolski Powers the mother of two would have been 24 years old when she was brutally murdered
detectives pieced together what they knew of her life before she disappeared in the
early 1980s Claudette left her Michigan home and moved to Washington with her husband by
1983 Claudette filed for divorce and found a property in San Diego County for herself and
her daughters however in 1984 tragedy struck the powers family when their patriarch passed away
upon losing her father Claudette felt lost her siblings were called to officers that September
1984 was the last time they saw or spoke to their beloved sister at their father's funeral
after that she dropped off the map claudette's family said that they never gave up looking for
her her siblings hired a private investigator but there is no sign her siblings and family
left Claudette and they knew her disappearance was out of the ordinary however she was never reported
missing formally and her family had no idea that she'd been deceased all these years Wallace Clara
has now been identified investigators still have a long way to go in this investigation
they are now tasked with peace and claudette's life together from September 1984 to 1986.
there are some reports that she worked as a waitress in Escondido and anyone with
information or may have known Claudette is asked to come forward her sister said in a
statement to the media quote it's been really hard on her family someone knows what happened
a neighbor anyone that knew her knows what happened if you're still alive and you knew
my sister and you knew what happened to her please come forward please we need closure
San Diego County Sheriff's office has not released the manners of the death for Claudette or the John
Doe and the investigation is ongoing what they have said is that they are looking for a male
suspect and that Claudette had suffered a violent death they are hoping to identify the man who had
been murdered as well they said that the man is a similar age to Claudette mid-20s
and that they were both similarly dressed in thermals and clothing suitable for camping
they had both been deceased for approximately two weeks before their bodies were discovered no other
personal effects were found and no camping gear bags or purses the area was remote and they would
have needed a vehicle to get there at this time there are no sketches of the John Doe available
nor much information that might help identify him DNA match with her youngest Sister Laura freeze

loved her kids very much she loved her family very much

been found anyone's information is asked to contact the sheriff's homicide unit at
