Midtown Jane Doe identified as Brooklyn resident

The NYPD Cold Case Squad announced last month that skeletal remains discovered in a Manhattan apartment building in 2003 were those of a teenager reported missing from Sunset Park.

Det. Ryan Glas told NBC 4 News that through advanced forensic analysis, it was determined that Midtown Jane Doe, once labeled, was Patricia Kathleen McGlone, who disappeared in 1969 at the age of 16.

McGlone's remains were found wrapped in a rug at the site of the former Hell's Kitchen club, The Scene. Cops also found a 1969 penny, a toy plastic soldier, a watch and a ring bearing the initials “PMCG.”

Skeletal remains discovered in Manhattan in 2003 were identified as those of Sunset Park resident Patricia Kathleen McGlone.

The NYPD created a facial composite of McGlone using DNA and skeletal structure.

A family tree showed that McGlone's DNA matched that of a family member who was killed in the Sept. 11 attacks, Glas told NBC.

According to certificates released by the NYPD, McGlone was born at Coney Island Hospital in April 1953. She was baptized at St. Patrick Church in Bay Ridge, took communion at Our Lady of Perpetual Church and attended Charles Dewey Middle School.

“In any investigation, especially a homicide, the first thing you need to know is the name of the victim, because that gives you a starting point,” he told NBC.
