Princess Doe
Can You Help Identify Princess Doe?
When the body of a young teenage girl was found beaten to death in a Blairstown, N.J. cemetary, the small community was horrified. The whole town adopted this murdered girl as their own, pooling their funds and giving her a proper burial. They called her "Princess Doe." Just like that community, Lt. Stephen Speirs of the Warren Co. Prosecutor's Office in N.J. has taken Princess Doe's case under his wing, relentlessly following the twists and turns of the case since 1998. He hopes to solve the case by July 2007 -- the 25th anniversary of Princess Doe's discovery.
