Sherry or Cheryl Jane Doe Images

Do you recognize this woman?

In March of 1976, presumed Native American or Hispanic/Latina  young woman was discovered, with no obvious trauma, in the Harpeth River in Nashville; she carried on her a picture of a little boy, and a trail that led to witnesses who said she’d hitchhiked with a mysterious friend, all the way from Minnesota—but that trail led nowhere. 

Without the possibility of DNA testing, the best shot of identifying “Sherry” Jane Doe is using her extremely accurate forensic art, and the details she shared of her life— including that she  also have ties to the St. Paul, Minnesota area. 

A woman has also come forward to say that she believes Sherry Jane Doe is her mother, Sherry A Jones (Smith), who has ties to South Carolina, Tennessee, and Puerto Rico. 

 The Fall Line has commissioned new isolated forensic art of her teeth to share with the public in hopes that this information will aid in identification; you can see this image and all others associated with the case on our website. To submit information, please contact Detective Filter at Metro Nashville Police at 615-862-7803.
