One 1975, size 9 1/2, Robert E. Lee, Houston, TX High School ring. This ring has a blue stone with a silver colored, inexpensive metal band. It is unknown whether or not there were ever engravings on the inner side of the ring's band. The ring was upsized twice, which would have removed evidence of previous engravings. However, it does have an inlaid, "L" which many students chose as an option that year that stands for the school mascot, Robert E. Lee himself.

Victim's Rings

Case History
The victim was located on a pile of debris at the end of a Brazoria County road (101) just east of Highway 288 inside the Manvel city limits on September 10, 1990.
The skeleton was found by a man who had pulled off the highway to relieve himself. He stepped behind a barricade and saw a skull in an old tire.
No purse, wallet, clothing or hair were located around the skeleton, six rings were on the fingers, and a bracelet around her wrist.

The company that made Robert E. Lee High School's (now Lee High School) rings doesn't have records from 1975. The Lee class of 1975 had about 300 girls. Authorities would like to hear from any of the girls who lost a ring or gave it to somebody else.
Toxicology tests yielded no trace of opiates in her bone marrow. However, it is unknown whether or not other drugs were present, tested for or could have been tested for.

Elizabeth Pfeifer - Missing Person

Please go to the case numbers on The Doe Network to compare the case photo's I do have a couple of things I would like to bring up about Jane Doe. Please comment.

That is a fairly close match..good job. But since the remains were found with a high school ring and other jewelry wouldn't friends and family of Elizabeth Ann Pfeifer know the type of jewelry she wears and what high school she went to?

[Chad Scott]

Here is the map reflecting the 3 cities mentioned. Houston to Katy is apx 29 Miles, Katy to Manvel is apx 46 miles. This triangle does correspond with a realistic travel route in a "triangle" form. The photos and physical description do resemble one another. The ring is a thrower though. It could of actually been Jane Does ring or it could have been a friend of hers. Without actually going through the Highschool year book that year and contacting each woman (which is not a bad idea at all) it is impossible to know. If all women from that highschool in the surrounding years are accounted for, then there is another twist to the ring. If one is missing.....maybe she has now been found? Either way, good eyes Melanie. You can contact Rocky at the Doe Network [e-mail] and ask if they have been compared in the past, he recently compared 2 sets of Canadians to a John Doe in Michigan for me.

[Melanie M Murvine]

Also this ring was sized "up" twice which means it is a girls ring if it was sized up twice who ever the ring belonged to gave it to a boy for him to wear (girlfriend/boyfriend) I don't believe it was the unidentified girls ring because using the dates for possible birth if she were born in 1965 she would have only been 10 years old at the time if we go the other end of the spectrum then she would have been born in 1975 so the ring had to belong to someone like a sister that may have passed away,,, just my thoughts.

[Melanie M Murvine]

That would fit within the 50 mile radius of where the perp lived but also where she lived possibly.

Great observation, I totally missed putting that together as a reason it isn't hers.

[Melanie M Murvine]

Okay I sent the possible match into Rocky I will let you know what he says.

[Melanie M Murvine]

He is forwarding this to the team that works on possible matches then possibly on to LE.

[Gwen Johnson]

I agree with Maureen the rings are a signifigant thing. I wonder if she was with rings before she left or did she obtain them from someone she was with after leaving, if this is her...Hmmm this may be worth looking into.
