Smurfette Jane Doe is the nickname given to an unidentified teenaged girl who was found dead by a driver in Houston, Texas on October 16, 2012.
[3] Due to advanced decomposition a cause of death could not be determined, but the effort to conceal the decedent strongly indicates homicide.
[5] The driver discovered the body of the deceased hidden among discarded trash near a gated gravel driveway leading to a private oil field, 20 feet from a fork in the road.
[3] However, the decedent was also found wearing adult women's lingerie,[5] consisting of pink underpants and a black bra.
[4] The presence of these items despite her age and childish outfit has led investigators to suspect the victim was involved in sex trafficking.
[5] A common contributing factor which makes girls vulnerable to sex trafficking is estrangement, which may be the reason why the victim has not been identified.
[4] The girl's skull also had a pronounced overbite,[1] and a facial asymmetry that may have been visible during life, which was possibly caused by an illness or syndrome.
