The Lake County Sheriff's Office has issued a new reconstruction for "Julie Doe”, the unidentified transgender woman found dead in 1988 who has remained nameless for the last 27 years. The 1988 autopsy determined she had given birth to at least one child in the past, but DNA testing revealed she had an XY genotype.

She was between the ages of 22 and 35 according to her profile on the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, or NamUs, and was about 5'10 with naturally brown hair. Her upper body reassignment surgery was likely done no later than 1984, because her 250cc silicone breast implants had been discontinued for five years at the time of her death, and was most likely performed in either Miami, Atlanta, New Orleans, New York City, or California. She also had a rhinoplasty, and had likely been on hormonal therapy for several years before her death.

Someone knows who she is. Police are requesting that any physicians who treated patients with gender dysphoria in the late 1970s and early 1980s, as well as anyone who transitioned or was close to the transgender community during this timeframe, to search their records/recollectione for Julie. She may have mentioned at least one physical assault that fractured her cheekbone and likely broke her nose. She also had a healed rib fracture. You may have seen her as a patient in one of the six clinics that treated gender dysphoria at that time in the United States, or in a support group for individuals transitioning during those years. You may also have seen her in 1988 or thereabouts in the Orlando LGBT community.

If you recognize Julie Doe, or have any information about the circumstances surrounding her death, please contact the Lake County Sheriff's Office at 352-343-2101.
