On Tuesday, May 24, 1994, the body of a young black woman was found in an alleyway in the Woodlawn neighborhood on the south side of Chicago. She had been raped and strangled.
Two years later, police arrested serial killer Gregory Clepper who confessed to picking up the woman and later killing her. He had apparently been terrorizing the residents of Chicago's south side for three years, often targeting sex workers or drug addicts. Clepper was charged in the murders of over a dozen women, but as he enters his 28th year of his 80 year sentence, this Jane Doe remains the only victim of Clepper's to be identified to this day.
Who was the 1994 Chicago Jane doe? Today, we examine her case and the few details that are known about her. Her story leads us down a path of heinous crimes committed by a sadistic killer, an exploration of how society treats certain victims, and even a comparison to an obscure and mysterious news broadcast.
I hope you will join me as I tell the story of the 1994 Chicago Jane Doe.
