Bodies Exhumed For Final Burial, Investigation Active

[D.P.]

It took almost twenty years to identify the woman and the infant found in three different rivers In Oregon and Washington. But now, with DNA testing, Jane and Baby Doe have their names back and their mother/daughter relationship. Now to figure out who put them in the rivers....

Thanks for posting that DP. I knew about that one, and always thought it was so awful for a baby to be found and never id'd, the woman dismembered just made it worse.
This one says police have been looking for the husband Ashok Kumar Narain. They were found in Sept. '87, he hasn't been seen since early '88. Doesn't sound like a murder suicide.

I don't think it was a murder suicide either. Of course, the husband COULD be dead by now, so much time has gone by. I think that he disappeared on his own, perhaps going back to Asia.
I pulled out a map of the area, and from what I could see, the bodies were either all dumped near where her legs were found (Willamette River-near Portland) the rest of the remains drifted with the flow of the river where her torso turned up near Woodland, Wa in the Lewis River, and the baby turned up further downstream near Longview in the Cowlitz river. Due to the way currents run, though, I'm going with the theory that whoever dumped the bodies, dumped them all spread out. By following the course of the rivers that the remains were found in, the perp could have easily dumped them while traveling along RT 30 in Oregon.
A sad case. I'm glad they figured out who they where, of course, but wouldn't it be nice to figure out what happened to them after all these years?

One article said that it was his brother who had heard about the unid'd bodies and asked for the DNA. But her bro. had been trying to locate his sister and had called the FBI.
