The Cases I’m fairly obsessed with the case of Shafter Jane Doe, sometimes referred to as Elko Jane Doe, a young woman whose remains were found in the desert just off of the I-80 exit to Shafter, Nevada. I did a write-up on Shafter Jane Doe’s case a while back. It’s archived now, but the full post and comments are available here, if you’re interested:. TLDR: A young woman was murdered and dumped, her nude body laid out in a cross shape in the Nevada desert just off of Interstate 80.

She’d been severely beaten about the face and shot twice, once in the chest and once in the back. She may have been a victim of a serial killer who operated in the Great Basin in the 1980s and ‘90s). Convicted killer Dale Wayne Eaton may be a suspect in those murders, including that of Shafter Jane Doe. Today while looking up details on another case, I stumbled upon another Jane Doe found in Nevada—this time just off of Starr Valley Road in Deeth in July of 1972—about 50 miles from where Shafter Jane Doe was found. I’ll refer to her in this write-up as Starr Valley Jane Doe to differentiate between her and Shafter Jane Doe.

Starr Valley Jane’s case reminded me of Shafter Jane’s case, and it got me wondering if the details are just vague and common enough to seem linked or if the two may have the same killer. If the cases are shown to be linked, it may stretch out the time fame within which the Great Basin Murders are considered to have happened. Currently, the Great Basin Murders are believed to stretch from 1983 to 1997, but this Jane Doe was found nine years before the first victim within that time frame. According to, Starr Valley Jane Doe was 17-25 years old, about 5’2’’ and 105-115 pounds, with reddish-blonde to light brown curly shoulder-length hair. She had a scar on her right knee and her appendix had been removed at some point in her life. A composite photo of her can be seen on her Doe Network and NamUs pages; links are in the Resources section below. Her remains were found by a farmer just off of Dennis Flatts Road, a half-mile from Starr Valley Road and about eight miles south of I-80, in an area said to be hard to find for people not from the area.

Killer

She was nude, appeared to have been posed in a cross shape, and had been shot twice--in the neck and the left cheek with a.22-caliber handgun. Although both NamUs and Doe Network say she had been deceased for an interval of “months,” a blue VW Beetle with Tennessee plates had been seen in the area the week before, and investigators seem to believe it may be tied to the case. The car was thought to have been stolen from Tennessee, but that was never proven, and the vehicle was never found.

Similarities Both Shafter Jane Doe and Starr Valley Jane Doe were young women, likely in their 20s, with light brown or dark blonde hair. Both had been shot twice with a small-caliber weapon (the weapon that killed Shafter Jane Doe isn’t specified, other than that it was small caliber; Starr Valley Jane Doe was shot with a.22 handgun). Both women were found deceased in the desert off of I-80, and both were nude and appeared to have been posed in the shape of a cross. In the conversation thread of my earlier posting about Shafter Jane Doe, I’d noted that I questioned the viability of the claim that the bodies had been positioned in a “cross-like” way. It seemed feasible to me that the positioning could simply be a result of the way the killer had disposed of the remains: dragging her by holding her under her arms and letting her heels drag on the ground. When her upper body was dropped or set down, it seemed possible that her arms could have stayed splayed and her feet would have been closer together, forming what looked like a cross shape. Then again, investigators may have a reason to believe the women were posed (such as footprints around the bodies or drag or movement marks showing that they’d been purposely positioned).
