Oregon State Police exhumed the remains of "Oak Grove Jane Doe," a woman found dead in 1946, in an attempt to solve Oregon's oldest unidentified person case. Discovered in burlap sacks along the Willamette River with signs of blunt-force trauma, her remains and crucial evidence went missing in the 1950s, hindering investigations. Recent leads led to the exhumation from Mountain View Cemetery. Advanced forensic testing is underway, hoping to finally identify the victim and resolve the decades-old mystery.
