Sense Sonnet - Acher

One Less Jane Doe

1954, a Jane Doe,
Her young battered body was found,
And buried in Colorado.
Her disappearance did confound
One Dorothy Gay's family
In Arizona the same time.
Then after half a century,
The two were linked to one past crime.
Through the marvels of DNA,
The two women were proved the same,
And a serial killer's prey,
And Harvey Glatman was his name.

One family finally knows.
One less of so many Jane Does.
