The identity of the Woodlawn Jane Doe remained a complete mystery for just short of 50 years. It wasn’t until investigative techniques advanced significantly that there would be any kind of break in the case. According to Baltimore County Government, investigators began trying to reexamine evidence from the case in 2006

Years later, in 2015, and with help from The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, pollen tests were performed and the results pointed toward Boston, Massachusetts. This matched with some other pieces of evidence that investigators were privy to. The body had been discovered with a grass seed bag over her head, and that particular bag was only sold in Massachusetts, according to WCVB. Additionally, two keys manufactured in Massachusetts had been found on the body.
In 2016, another attempt at gathering new leads was made when a new facial reconstruction of the victim was released to the public. However, it wasn’t until 2021 when DNA tests were performed that the Woodlawn Jane Doe was finally identified as Margaret Fetterolf.
