Alabama police<\/a>, on Tuesday, arrested the father of a girl whose remains were found in a trailer park in 2012, charging him with murder and his wife with failing to report a missing child, according to police.<\/p>\n

Opelika, Alabama police responded to reports of skeletal remains<\/a> being found in a trailer park on Jan. 28, 2012, after a person found a skull in a residential yard, and many other bones only a few feet into the woods.<\/p>\n

A further search of the area resulted in a child-sized pink shirt and a small bundle of curly hair, police said. The remains were sent to Quantico, Virginia, where the FBI performed a medical examination on the remains at the FBI laboratory.<\/p>\n

The report found that the remains were of a Black female, likely between the ages of 4-7, who became known as Baby Jane Doe.<\/p>\n

An autopsy on the remains found there were more than 15 fractures to the girl\u2019s arms, legs, shoulders, ribs and skull, caused by blunt force trauma<\/a>. The injuries showed evidence of healing, leading the medical examiner to believe the injuries occurred before the girl died.<\/p>\n

The medical examiner also said Jane Doe appeared to be malnourished and blind in her left eye because of a fracture in her eye socket, according to police.<\/p>\n

The medical examiner determined that Jane Doe\u2019s cause of death was homicide, which occurred between the summer of 2010 to 2011.<\/p>\n

Detectives scoured<\/a> through 15,000 case files from the Alabama Department of Public Health and investigated thousands of tips related to Jane Doe\u2019s remains, the Opelika Police Department said in a press release. Police attempted to put together a DNA profile but were unsuccessful because of the condition of the remains.<\/p>\n

Several advances in DNA testing since then allowed DNA to be successfully extracted from Jane Doe\u2019s scalp and hair in January 2022, leading to the creation of a comprehensive genealogical profile, which was uploaded to a DNA database.<\/p>\n

Dr. Barbara Rae-Venter examined the profile, along with the Firebird Forensics Group, and it led to the identification of relatives and more investigative leads.<\/p>\n

Jane Doe\u2019s father was identified in Oct. 2022 as Lamar Vickerstaff Jr., 50.<\/p>\n

Police said Vickerstaff was born and raised in Opelika before joining the U.S. Navy, which led him to Norfolk, Virginia, Honolulu, Hawaii and Jacksonville, Florida.<\/p>\n

After identifying Vickerstaff as Jane Doe\u2019s father, detectives visited with him at Naval Station Mayport in Jacksonville, where he is currently stationed.<\/p>\n

Detectives notified Vickerstaff of his daughter\u2019s death, police said, though he did not provide the investigators with any additional information about the identity of his daughter.<\/p>\n

Detectives also met with Ruth Vickerstaff, Lamar Vickerstaff\u2019s wife since May 2006. Ruth told detectives she did not know Vickerstaff\u2019s daughter or who the mother might be, according to police.<\/p>\n

Dr. Rae-Venter reviewed several potential matches for who Jane Doe\u2019s mother could be and detectives narrowed it down to 37-year-old Sherry Wiggins, who confirmed she was the biological mother.<\/p>\n

Wiggins told detectives she is originally from Norfolk, Virginia and gave birth to Amore Joveah Wiggins in January 2006.<\/p>\n

Wiggins also provided documentation to detectives showing the Vickerstaffs were given custody of Amore in 2009, and that Wiggins paid child support to Lamar Vickerstaff since 2009.<\/p>\n

Investigators called schools and pediatric clinics in states where the Vickerstaffs lived and found Amore was never enrolled in school. She was also never reported as a missing person.<\/p>\n

Lamar and Ruth Vickerstaff were ultimately arrested on Jan. 17 in Jacksonville, Florida.<\/p>\n

Lamar has been charged with murder while Ruth was charged with failing to report a missing child. Both are being held in Jacksonville pending extradition to Lee County, Alabama.<\/p>\n

Detectives ask anyone with information about the case to call 334-705-5220 or the Secret Witness Hotline at 334-745-8665.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
