Johnny Ellis, a member of Chabad Young Professionals of Hoboken and Jersey City, wrapped up his old job, had a new one starting in June, and was going to spend the time in between doing something he'd wanted to do for a while — study in yeshiva.

Under the scorching Arizona sun, a lone rabbi walked through a dusty cemetery searching for a grave with no name. At the edge of the county section, past other Jane and John Does, he found her simple marker:
Jane Doe 89-4351
Found 11.24.1989
For decades, that number was all the world knew about her.
Now @MendelSuper wants to identify her and bring her to her final rest.
