35 Years

10/31/2015

0 Comments

 
Thirty five years ago to this day, a horrible tragedy occurred. A beautiful young girl had her life stolen from her after being tortured and assaulted by a monster.

She was left deceased without so much as her name. Her headstone simply reads "Unidentified White Female." All we know about her is what she looked like after her death. Artistic renditions created from her battered face depict what she may have looked like in life. A gorgeous teenaged girl, with feminine features--a tiny chin, delicate face,  hazel eyes, and full lips. Surely no one has forgotten her--they just do not know of the horrors she suffered.

Whoever did this needs to confess. What was her name? What were her last words? Did you know what it was like when she laughed?

We can all hope that this is the last year she has to remain unidentified. The last year that her family is confused and without answers about why she never came home. For families of victims, closure is nonexistent, a concept hard to grasp for most. However, we can only hope that her family will be able to properly mourn her, and that we can all know about the legacy she left behind.

Bring Ruthie Doe/Walker County Jane Doe home, before the 36th anniversary.

Fly high, sweet angel. You are not forgotten.

I Call Her Ruthie

I call her Ruthie. Autopsy reports and online persons call her 1980 Walker County Jane Doe.

We don't know her real name. Somebody, somewhere does, but they don't know what happened to her. They don't know that her body was discovered, face-down and horribly tortured, on November 1, 1980. They don't know. They might think she left her family and started a happy life for herself. She has no family that knows to mourn her, and that is so tragic.

In two days, it'll be thirty five years. Thirty five years since she perished, since she lost her life much too young.

It breaks my heart that she has been buried underneath a simple grave reading "Unknown White Female." I long for the day that her grave can read her full name.

Until then, until that day when she gets her name back, she will be Ruthie Doe to me.

At first, I started calling her that because she simply looked like a Ruthie to me, and I felt as if she needed a name. I then remembered that Ruthie is a Biblical name. It also means "friend" or "companion". I feel assured that she has friends from her life, that she was somebody's companion, and that they never forgot her. I imagine it being a case like Tammy Jo Alexander's, when a report was filed by family, but not taken seriously by agencies because she was a young runaway.

I know that she was never forgotten, even if by people who never knew her. All this time, people have been remembering her, constantly searching for her identity. And, one day, I pray for two things: her name and that of her killer. She needs to be brought home to her family, and her killer needs to never see daylight again.

Until that day, she is just known as the "Unknown White Female" who died on November 1, 1980.

May she rest in peace.

Pictured here is her grave. It reads "Unknown White Female: Died November 1, 1980."
It saddens me so much that her grave has no name. All they know about her is that she was Caucasian. I truly hope that, before the upcoming 35th anniversary of her murder, her name is brought back to her.
