On December 18th, 1996, an unknown woman walked into Pleasant Valley Memorial Park in Annandale Virginia. Once inside she proceeded to the area in which children are buried and set herself a place, including placing a small Christmas tree. There she took her own life and left behind no clues as to her identity.

Over the past twenty-three years, many have tried to determine who Annandale Jane Doe was, what led her to that particular cemetery, and ultimately, why she chose to end her own life? However, Jane Doe went out of her way to ensure her identity would never be discovered prompting the question: are some mysteries best left unsolved?
