Circumstances of Recovery: Jane Doe was a patient at SC State Hospital who was unable to provide her real name due to schizoprenia. She died as the result of an accidental fall on 02/15/1982 in the hospital. She was buried as 'Jane Doe' by the Richland County Coroner's Office, following exhaustive efforts to determine her identity. Her skeletal remains were exhumed by a forensic anthropologist in 1996 from the county cemetery, as part of an effort to revisit efforts to determine her identity.

Looks like this venture was successful.

After being unidentified for more than 40 years, genealogy investigators at FHD Forensics have traced her background to the Traphill and Wilkesboro communities in North Carolina. Additional DNA testing is now being undertaken to determine her identity.

Comments on that page indicate her name is Virginia H. Ray.
