Chapter 3 part 5

Jane Doe found in Macy's

Police have been desperate to identify a young girl who was found in Macy's department store on third avenue, downtown Seattle, Friday evening.

The young girl, age between 8 and 10, has no recognition on who she is and no known injuries. She was discovered by a sales associate, Lynn Costa, who immediately call for help around 6pm. 'She looked starstruck, when I first saw her.' Costa said to reporters. 'Completely out of it.'

Police have been unable to get much information from the girl. It appears she either dose not know, or is unwilling to say who she is and how she got to the department store.

Inspector RaNell Torres said: 'This is a rare case indeed. We are trying to identify who she is, so we can inform to her family. But most importantly what she knows.'

According to witnesses the girl kept repeating the same sentence over and over 'He killed him. He killed him.'  But police have not been able to identify who she is refuring to and no bodies have been found.

Doctors are treating her in the hospital for amnesia. For the time being, she is being guarded twenty-four hours a day.  While officers trace her family.

They have reviewed security tapes and spoken to witnesses near to where she was found. 'I didn't see her walk in.' Costa confirms. 'She was just suddenly there,  and then she was screaming.'

Police have checked with hospitals, schools and missing children
service, but have drawn a blank.

'There's nothing to suggest she's been attacked.' Insp. Torres said. 'But because of her age and the suspicious circumstances surrounding her, we are not releasing a description on what she looks like. The only thing we will release to the public is, she has red hair.'

The officer added she believes the girl is in danger, and there are distinctive trademarks to her behavior.  'If you have knowledge of her. Be prepared to answer some questions, before she is released.'

The girl is currently in hospital receiving treatment for amnesia. If no one can provide proof of religion. She will be turned over to Family Services.
