Jeanette Elizabeth Brown was well-known by police in South Tucson, where she was arrested a number of times for prostitution.
She was last seen alive on June 12, 1997, in the area of South Fourth Avenue and Interstate 10. A month later, her decomposing body was found at the bottom of a steep 100-foot embankment along Redington Road.
Clad only in a black sports bra, Brown was found rolled in carpeting that was bound with wire. Sheriff’s investigators estimated she’d been dead about a week when she was found July 15, 1997. The blond-haired, blue-eyed Brown, who was 5 feet tall and weighed 140 pounds, was still wearing several pieces of jewelry: a single gold-color hoop earring and two rings – one a gold-color band with a diamond chip; the other gold and silver in color, adorned with the image of the Virgin Mary.
