'Midtown Jane Doe' ID'd 20 Years After Body Found Encased In Cement

NEW YORK CITY — The long-mysterious identity of "Midtown Jane Doe" — a young woman's body found encased in concrete more than 20 years ago — has been revealed after a cold case investigation, police said.

DNA identified the remains as belonging to Patricia Kathleen McGlone, a teen girl who went missing in the late 1960s, an NYPD spokesperson told Patch.

The identification made last week — in part through a DNA match of a woman relative of McGlone's who was a 9/11 victim, NBC4 first reported — doesn't close the case, but does help shed light on a decades-old mystery.

The body was discovered in 2003 by construction crews toiling in the basement of 301 W. 46th St., near Eighth Avenue — the site of a once-popular, mob-connected rock club called The Scene, which closed in 1969, the New York Post reported.

A skull rolled out as workers broke up a concrete slab in the basement, the Post reported.

The young woman's body appeared to be bound with electrical wire and wrapped in a carpet before it was encased in concrete, according to reports. A ring with the letters PMcG was also found, reports state.

A genetic genealogy investigation by the NYPD eventually helped identify the body as belonging to McGlone, who would be 71 years old today, police said.

McGlone grew up in Sunset Park and she married a man in 1968 or 1969 before she disappeared, the Post reported. That man had a connection to the Hell's Kitchen building where her body was found, according to the report.
