Sheriff Pelle and Ms. Pettem will talk about plans for re-opening the investigation at a press conference to be held at the Sheriff’s Office at the Boulder County Justice Center, 1777 6^th Street, Boulder, on Wednesday, February 4^th, at 9:30 a.m. A press packet with additional details will be provided at that time.

Weather permitting, the Sheriff’s Office will conduct a brief tour for the media of the site in Boulder Canyon where “Jane Doe’s” body was found in 1954 as well as her grave site in Boulder’s Columbia cemetery following the press conference. The Sheriff’s Office will provide transportation; access to the cemetery will be limited to foot traffic, so camera crews should be prepared.
