Detailed Case Breakdown
Amy Elizabeth Davis: Oklahoma Jane Doe Identified After 17 Years, But Her Death Remains Unsolved
For nearly 17 years, the young woman known only as the “Croft & Barrow Jane Doe” remained one of Oklahoma’s most heartbreaking unidentified persons cases. Found in Oklahoma City in November 2008, investigators were unable to determine who she was despite extensive forensic work, facial reconstructions, and public appeals.
In 2026, advances in forensic genetic genealogy finally restored her identity. The woman was identified as Amy Elizabeth Davis, an Oklahoma native who disappeared in 2008 after leaving home as a young adult. While investigators now know her name, the circumstances surrounding her death remain unanswered.
Who Was Amy Elizabeth Davis?
Amy Elizabeth Davis was born on May 2, 1988, and was adopted as a child by an Oklahoma family. According to information released following her identification, she left home around age 18 and was believed to have been living in the Oklahoma City area.
Family members reportedly attempted to report her missing in 2008. Because she was legally an adult and believed to be living independently, the case did not initially receive the level of investigation often associated with missing juveniles. Years later, members of Amy’s biological family began searching for her after learning more about her adoption history, eventually leading to a new missing persons report and DNA comparison that resulted in her identification.
Discovery of the Remains
On November 5, 2008, utility workers replacing a power pole in the 300 block of Southwest 10th Street in Oklahoma City discovered partial skeletal human remains.
Investigators estimated the victim was a young woman between 17 and 23 years old. Because she wore distinctive black Croft & Barrow slip-on shoes, she became widely known as the “Croft & Barrow Jane Doe.”
Despite extensive forensic examinations, investigators were unable to determine how she died. The official cause and manner of death remain undetermined, leaving open the possibility that additional evidence could change the classification in the future.
Years Without a Name
For more than a decade, Amy’s case appeared on numerous unidentified persons databases.
Investigators created forensic facial reconstructions, compared missing persons reports nationwide, and entered her DNA into national databases. None of those efforts produced a match.
The breakthrough came after relatives from Amy’s biological family began researching her disappearance and submitted DNA that ultimately confirmed her identity through forensic genetic genealogy. The identification was publicly announced in 2026.
Current Status of the Investigation
Although Amy Elizabeth Davis has now been identified, her death remains unsolved.
Authorities have not announced any suspects, arrests, or homicide determination. The official cause of death is still listed as undetermined while investigators continue reviewing information about Amy’s life, movements during 2008, and anyone who may have known her during her final months.
Investigators continue to encourage anyone who knew Amy or has information about her disappearance or death to contact authorities. Even seemingly minor details from 2008 may help establish a timeline or identify individuals she encountered before her death..

It has been 109 days since the confirmation of Amy’s remains. The Oklahoma medical examiners office is still investigating so at this time we don’t have a cause of death we are still waiting on them to close out her report, it’s taken longer because unfortunately all they had were bones to test from. I’ve been in communication with a family assistant coordinator at the ME office and I’m waiting on an updated timeline. We are STILL searching for answers of what happened to Amy. I have found a few people who knew Amy/knew of her but unfortunately every direction I’m lead in hasn’t given me answers and a lot of the people she was around are either deceased or in prison. If you have any information please reach out to me. Amy’s remains were found in Oklahoma in 2008.
