ABSTRACT
Newspapers and their accompanying photographs play an important role in cold case research, especially when case —les are incomplete or missing. As described in the previous chapter, when the Boulder Jane Doe case was revisited 50 years a«er the young woman’s murder, the local sheri¦’s ožce no longer had the case —le and a new one had to be reconstructed, starting with the original newspaper articles. Similarly, the same newspaper articles that led to the crime scene also led to the victim’s autopsy report. še local coroner’s ožce did not have the report, but the Boulder Daily Camera (in Boulder, Colorado) on April 9, 1954, the day a«er the woman’s body was found, provided the name of the pathologist who had performed the autopsy.
