Devil's in the details of little blue dress

Fifty-two anonymous women had preceded Jane Doe 53 to the grave in 1987 before a mysterious killer chopped off her hands and dumped her body in the Sepulveda Basin. More than 5,000 men and women have followed in unsolved homicides in Los Angeles. Rick's got an exceptional piece today on the sad end of Ms. Doe 53, who donned a handmade, out-of-fashion blue dress and painted her toenails reddish pink for one last night out before she was killed. It's a tragic, very well-written tale.
