Bensalem Detective Chris McMullin Identifies Another Jane Doe After 29 Years
Beginning in 2002 (20 years ago), Detective Chris McMullin took a fresh look at four cases that had gone “cold” at Bensalem Police Department. A case goes cold when detectives run out of leads.
One of these cases led Chris and a handful of others to identify Philly resident Lisa Todd, a woman who was previously known only as “Bucks County’s Jane Doe” or ‘The Publicker Jane Doe’, which we reported on nearly a year ago.
You may recall my first story published last summer, where I referenced the “starfish story” (first written by Loren Eiseley), where throwing one starfish back to the sea makes all the difference to each one who makes it home, a beautiful symbol for this hardworking detective eager to find the identity of these Jane Does, stranded on the shores of the unknown.
Most recently, this past December, Detective McMullin is proud to say, “We found another starfish.”
