Summary
In 2003, construction workers smashing up the basement of a former Manhattan nightclub broke through a slab of concrete and uncovered a rolled rug, a skull, and the bound, strangled remains of a teenage girl no one could name. For more than twenty years she was “Midtown Jane Doe,” a mystery buried under Hell’s Kitchen, until forensic genealogy finally matched her degraded DNA to a 9/11 victim’s mother and revealed she was 16‑year‑old Patricia Kathleen McGlone from Brooklyn, a runaway bride and new mother who was never even reported missing. Now investigators know Patricia married musician Donald Grant and that his address was the very building where her body was entombed in concrete, making him a key person of interest but her husband, her baby, and her killer have all vanished into the same silence that kept her hidden for decades.
