Summary

Episode 62 DOE ID 'Fly Creek Jane Doe' Sandra 'Sandy' Morden

In February, 1980, a father and son panning for Gold in the Fly Creek area near Amboy, Washington, found a human skull and alerted authorities to their find. Investigators confirmed the skull was human, and found other bones belonging to the same person. They identified the remains as belonging to a teenage female, and determined she was a homicide victim. No clothes or other belongings of the girl were found, and police could not identify her. Despite their request for tips from the public, the girl known as 'Fly Creek Jane Doe' went unidentified.

Many similar cases and killers in that area were looked into, but none of them were connected to Fly Creek Jane Doe. It would take decades, and evolution in Science to use DNA and genealogy to finally identify 'Fly Creek Jane Doe' as 16 year old Sandra 'Sandy' Morden who vanished mysteriously from the Amboy, Washington area in the Spring of 1977. Police have had a hard time piecing together Sandy's movements leading up to her disapperance, and although they know her name, they have not been able to ID her killer as of yet. 'Fly Creek Jane Doe' finally has her name again; it's Sandra 'Sandy' Morden, and this is her story.

If you have any information about Sandy, knew her family, or anything about her movements leading up to her disappearance, investigators want to hear from you. Please reach out to Detective Schultz at lindsay.schultz@clark.wa.gov or call her at (360) 397-2036
