February 23, 1991: McLeod's body was found partially clothed in Goose Lake Wildlife Preserve by a guy walking his dog.
Severely battered about the head and chest, throat had been slashed, severing an artery that pumped out half her body's blood.
Her legs were spread and her shirt pulled up to expose her breasts and sexually assaulted after death.
Her distinctive cleft chin was smashed in; hands had been dismembered, severed high enough on the left arm to remove a birthmark.
When her hands were found, near railroad tracks in another county, fingertips had been sliced off.
It was several months before she was buried due to the investigation. At that time she was still
considered a Jane Doe and had not yet been identified.
"America's Most Wanted" TV show ran parts of the story three times. Two short blurbs, and one full segment. The last airing generated a tip
out of Illinois that led to a Milwaukee man named Joseph White. White, who was charged with murder and bringing McLeod across state lines
for prostitution, acted as his own attorney. Convicted, he was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole until he's 108 years old.
Doris Ann McLeod (16)
Joseph White (28)
A novel by one of the detectives who helped solved the case, Kevin Hughes, is based loosely on the McLeod case.
