There were 15 new unidentified female cases—known as Jane Does—uploaded to NamUs between September 1 and October 1, 2025. These cases span decades, from tragic discoveries in the 1990s to fresh investigations in 2025. 

Today, we're shining a light on these stories, including enhanced details on three poignant cases: an infant found in a Texas dumpster in 1993, decomposed remains in Missouri from the same era, and a hospital patient in South Carolina who passed under a false name. Public tips could be the key to identifying them—have you seen someone matching these descriptions?

Spotlight on NamUs UP150622: The Heartbreaking 1993 Corpus Christi Infant Case

NamUs case UP150622 is an unidentified female infant discovered on April 20, 1993, in Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas. Dubbed "Baby Jane Doe," the newborn—estimated at just 1'2" (14 inches) tall and 8 lbs—was found by a woman rummaging through a dumpster at an apartment complex, concealed under a piece of newspaper. Her straight, thick black hair and dark eyes were noted, with her face recognizable despite the circumstances.

I did find a newspaper article pertaining to this case. There was one in the April 21st, 1993 edition of the Corpus-Christi Caller Times.

In my opinion, if solved, then it would be DNA that does it. However, someone coming forward is still not out of the question despite the 32 years that have passed. In cases like these, there is not going to be a missing person report that corresponds to the Jane Doe because, when dealing with newborn Jane Does, the deceased doesn't usually have an advocate that knew her.

Deep Dive into NamUs UP149967: 1993 St. Louis Decomposed Remains Mystery

Shifting to another 1990s cold case, UP149967 involves an adult female (pre-50 years) whose decomposed remains were found on September 21, 1993, in St. Louis City, Missouri (ZIP 63147). Estimated height: 5'4" (64 inches); weight and precise age range unavailable. The skeleton was near-complete but not recognizable, with race uncertain. Uploaded to NamUs on September 12, 2025 (ME/C #CITY-1993-1948), this case evokes questions of foul play or exposure in an urban setting. No hair, eye, or distinctive features were documented due to decomposition. 

Examining NamUs UP150810: The 1994 Myrtle Beach Hospital Alias Case

Rounding out the trio is UP150810, a white/Caucasian female aged 45-50 found deceased on November 15, 1994, in Myrtle Beach, Horry County, South Carolina (ZIP 29578). She checked into a local hospital the day prior as "Eleanor Hart" (or "Elonoir Hart") but passed from natural causes before next-of-kin could be verified and her details proved false. At 5'5" (65 inches) and 148 lbs, she had gray/partially gray hair and blue eyes, with a "recognizable face" in the NamUs description.

Usually, that designation is meant for Jane Does that are deceased and decomposed but this Jane Doe is someone hospital staff must have spoken to while alive. Despite this, no photo was uploaded to the case, which would aid greatly in identification.
