On the evening of August 9th, 1977, Roth drove this young woman to a secluded area,

where he strangled and then shot her several times in the face with a rifle, before leaving

her for dead.

Her body was discovered days later by a couple of berry pickers near Marinor High School,

found decomposing and without any form of identification on her.

This murdered young woman would be marked as a Jane Doe until further notice.

David Marvin Roth would quickly be identified as the potential killer, but wasn't apprehended

for more than a year.

As soon as he entered police custody, he confessed to the crime, but he knew very little about
