Sherri Jarvis

Sherry Ann Jarvis, formerly known as Walker County Jane Doe, was a teenager who was found murdered hours after her death in Huntsville, Texas, in 1980. Her murder remains unsolved, and she remained unidentified until September 2021. Her case was featured on the season 2 episode of True Cold Case Files titled under the same name.

Post-episode notes
It was announced in November 2021 that the victim was identified as 14-year-old Sherri Ann Jarvis, last seen after March 1980 when she ran away from foster care for the last time. She was from Stillwater, Minnesota, and she was known to have traveled to both Wisconsin and Colorado before arriving in Texas. Her connection to the Ellis Prison Farm still remains unknown.

The identification was made possible with the efforts of Othram, who obtained a usable sample from a preserved tissue sample from the victim’s autopsy. Afterwards, family members were traced back to her home state of Minnesota.
