The Benson Police Department is seeking the public's assistance in identifying a skull of a female Jane Doe found in Benson in March.

Police don't have a lot to go on in the case, involving a skull identified as a female between the ages of 25 and 35 years old.

Detective Asher Arnold said the skull was found by a hiker in a desert area northwest of Benson. Police believe the skull is that of a Caucasian adult, and may have been buried there for about three years.

Using a forensic artist, Arnold said they were able to reconstruct the face and get an idea of what the woman would have looked like.


"No cause of death has been determined at this time," Arnold said. "We are just seeking the public's assistance to identity the remains."

The police are circulating the picture throughout the county in hopes of getting some information that will help close the case.

Anyone with information can contact Arnold at (520) 586-2211.
