The Stamped Letter That Hid a Killer for Thirty-One Years

The sight of a sealed, stamped envelope beneath a corpse would haunt Ohio for three decades: Valerie Jenkins, 24, was found under a blue tarp in a side yard on November 9, 1991, with a sealed letter addressed to her mother tucked beneath her body. Who put Valerie there - and why had a routine weekly letter never reached the mailbox - remained unanswered until frozen DNA and a distant genealogy lead decades later; what exactly tied the undelivered letter to the person who left the tarp?
In this episode, we tell how a weekly mailing ritual, a patched blue tarp, and an unmailed Sunday letter became the central clues in a cold case that stretched from Dayton to western Pennsylvania, and how a frozen DNA sample and a genealogy saliva submission eventually reopened the question: who carried that tarp and why?
Person: Valerie Jenkins
Date: November 9, 1991
Location: Drover Street side yard, Kellerton
Status: Deceased; body found under blue plastic tarp
Age: 24
- Valerie Jenkins was a 24-year-old graduate student in library science found dead beneath a blue plastic tarp on November 9, 1991.
- A sealed, stamped envelope addressed to Valerie’s mother was pressed underneath her body and had not been mailed.
- Valerie wrote and mailed letters every Monday as a ritual; the last letter Dorothy Jenkins had was postmarked November 2, 1991.

- A frozen DNA sample and a woman in western Pennsylvania who sent saliva to a genealogy company eventually contributed to solving the case decades later.
