- DNA from a 9/11 victim helped New York police identity a woman killed in 1969 that had become a cold case. The remains of the woman, known as "Midtown Jane Doe," were found buried in a basement in 2003. WNBC's Marc Santia reports.

A 16 yr old child murdered, and buried under a peep show building..buried with a plastic toy that may have belonged to HER child....what a sad and torturous existence she must have led, what a tragic ending.
Rest in Peace Patricia Kathleen McGlone 🦋💙🌹
I hope ALL those involved in her ending are brought to justice
Goodness, just make things up why don't you.
@@billyyank5807- What?? Not made up, this was all on this news report.
@@billyyank5807 were the words, pictures and dialogue too hard for you?
Peep show? Where did you get that? It was a music club when she went missing
@@user-pn9db8sm5w It was a rock and roll music club, fool! Why don't you listen and understand before opening your cake hole!
Clearly the club owner was somehow involved. No one wraps a dead girl in carpet and buries her in cement in a club without the owner being at least aware of what's going on.
Yea, I’m thinking she must’ve been killed in the actual club because she was hidden without anyone noticing
Clearly the club owner did it? That’s quite a leap.
@@Christophertracy09 The rug had a plastic toy from her kid. That means the rug was in her home. She could've been killed there, wrapped in the rug, and moved to the basement of the bar. The owner might not have known. It could've been an employee working at the bar. Let the detectives do their job and keep speculation to a minimum.
@@kimberleelamb3261 How so?
So glad you’re not a policeman or prosecutor. What a leap. You know how many people work on a construction site and have keys or access to a building zone? Oh my stars you’re a deadset goose.
I wish this report would have looked into whether her parents ever reported her missing or not….now that they have a name.
It was from 1969. Is that relevant?
@@billyyank5807 well, sometimes, if the parents don't report a child missing, it means that the parents did the killing. But being that she was found in a nightclub, I imagine that it was probably a SA and murder at the hands of a club promoter/bouncer/musician.
@@billyyank5807 - It would help explain how long she was missing before she was killed.
Yes I would like to know that too, because I was expecting to see some happy family members and childhood pictures
they are probably dead.... she was 16 in 1969... even if her parents were 35, they would be around 90+... so slim chance to find them alive !!
This is when I love technology when all these years later, there is a face, a name, a life lived, so much more than a news story.Mighty fine work officers. Poor darling. I hope the remaining family members can give her the service and proper burial she deserves. 🕊
I was going to ask, under this video, when are they going to identify the Sumter County John and Jane Doe? Looked it up, three years ago! A campground worker claimed to have talked to them, and they were from Canada. Well, "John" was lying, or the worker mistook them for another couple, or the worker was lying. They were from Pennsylvania and Colorado. Family reported them missing. Lot of effort wasted toward Canada.
It's unfortunately only a reconstruction of how she might've looked like. :(
Poor kid. That had to be terrifying for her.
I read new info which said that Patricia married a much older man in his 30's in 1969. His name is Donald Grant and he is suspected to have ties to the building where Patricia was found. Though I've heard rumors online that the couple actually lived in that building. I've always wanted to see this case solved and now I'm happy it did. RIP Patricia formerly "P McG".
ya it was def the guy who did it then insane
until someone is convicted the case has not been "solved".
Finding out the identify of a murdered person is not solving a case.
ah no sympathy then. these girls know what they are getting into when dating/marrying an older man. especially as a minor.
that is what happens when you marry an older man as a minor. she got her comeuppance.
@@OsirusIrdia so it's her fault she got groomed by a grown man? and it's her fault she got murdered? you sound slow.
May Patricia rest in peace and hopefully get justice. That poor family had a lot of tragedy. Very sad.
She had a ring on that had her initials. Was she not reported missing? Who doesn’t report a missing 16 year old girl?!?
As someone mentioned, it was the 60s, so police probably would have not taken a missing child case as a serious case, instead dismissing them as runaways or troubled youth. Missing children cases weren't taken seriously until the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children was established in 1984 - nearly 2 decades later.
@@aznmochibunny Yes, around that time many young people were hitch-hiking across the country andbecoming a part of the hippy culture. She was probably considered a runaway.
@@aznmochibunny wrong
@@1962pjh wrong
@@barbieblue3336 do enlighten us
So.. Maybe her child is still out there, in their mid 50's now?
Good work by the detectives!
May she rest in peace.
maybe her child is the relative who died on 9/11 😢
@@allformsinsuranceagency5453if they were born in the 80s, they would have barely been out of high school. Doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would be in the World Trade Center that day
But it says she was killed in 1969, so her kid at the very least would have been 32 in 2001.
@@allformsinsuranceagency5453 it was her dad killed on 9/11.
@@allformsinsuranceagency5453uh yeah because they capl a relative a child. You think science is advanced enough to tell they were related but not if they were DIRECTLY related?
One article says that her husband was connected to the building. She was estranged from her family in 1968. There was no missing person report filed by the husband.
This was my first thought...maybe the older husband had something to do with it?
The club closed in 1969, and someone with access to the club itself post-closure could have added a little more concrete to the floor, with nobody the wiser.
@@munequa81yeah it sounds very suspicious to me.
Married at 16? That’s actually pathetically sad
@@the8419 Well it was 1969. Also she was catholic so maybe she got pregnant, and felt she had to marry the father of her child hence the estrangement from her family.
So glad they identified this young woman, justice is always delivered .
She wasn't a woman, she was a child. @mariamarshall6116
@@maryjs4878IMO you're no longer a child at 16.
@@wfemp_4730 according to American law she is just a child!
@@wfemp_4730 she was a child though, 16 is not adult
Mere identification of a murdered minor is not justice!
The killer could have been in his 20s or 30s in 1969. 75-85 years if alive today.
I don't think that back in 1969, they didn't have DNA testing then, did they?
@@Jasmine215100 DNA Testing started in late 1980s

And the 9/11 victim was also named Patricia.
@@annazaman9657which one?
@@wolverineeaglePatricia
@@mitchellineyeah. Patricia WHO is the question.
@@annazaman9657 Note to her family STOP NAMING YOUR KIDS PATRICIA
Heartbreaking. RIP young lady.
Had to be somebody who was a tenant or owned the building.
Had access to the building and the ability to be there alone.
It was a nightclub. Maybe it was one of the musicians.
@@Thaddeus-ml8if Musicians are lazy. They're just passing through.
They wouldn't do concrete it takes too much work.
it could also have been a construction worker. If the building was say temporarily shut down for renovations that is one way. If that is the case then there had to have been a permit issued by the city from thier they can find the company that did the work and check state tax records for employees who worked on the project at the time.
@@Lupinthe3rd. valid point
Could have been anyone from an owner to a cleaner, maintenance person to a contractor, bar staff to an electrician.
Without being able to narrow down a time frame for when this happened it could have been literally anyone, and it could have been more than one. They could have had renovations going on and the perpetrator worked there for a week. It could have been a security guard with keys on a Sunday. It could have been a hippy living in the basement with permission from the long-dead owner.
As usually happens in cases like this among the "true crime community" people invent their own narratives and spiral out into all kinds of assumptions based on their own biases. Facts matter, but even the cop being interviewed has invented a completely bizarre narrative of her having a child apparently based on nothing but the presence of a toy soldier, when that could have come from literally anywhere and could have been put there for any number of reasons.
The people that pursue these cold cases for years are amazing. I wish they had been able to say what the cause of death was.
The fact that she was hogtied in fetal position tells me she was SA'd and shot.
That’s how old I was in 2003. So sad her family had to go so many years to find out the truth .
Well 2003 is when her body was found….she was 16 in 1969 when she was killed.
@@starshine3588 got it.
I was 16 in 2003.
Either way rip
probably running away from her family
@@Zee-ob1peSame here. Born in 1987.

I pray she gets Justice somebody thought I could get away with this I hope not
OMG. RIP Patrica may you receive justice
Won’t but
DID NOBODY REPORT HER MISSING?
I bet there’s a reason they are leaving that part out. Probably suspicious of someone close to her That is still alive.
@@alianaweston2286 Could she have gotten pregnant by this former nightclub owner, and he killed her to avoid paying child support? Or maybe someone else did that.
She could have been. They just had not found her
@@Jasmine215100 or a serial killer…
Supposedly, she got pregnant and ran off with a guy she married when she was 16. Guess the marriage didn't last.
Thank you for your commitment to solving this case.
What a nightmare. She must have been terrified. Used, abused, and murdered. Hopefully, there will be closure.
It just so sad on so many level. A young woman have her whole life ahead of her and was cut short. It just show the amount of evil in this world.
Typically Americans refer to anybody under 30 as a kid . Young woman at 16 ? Seriously ?
@@junglesuperstar9270 No, Americans don't typically refer to "anybody" under 30 as a kid. Forget about the semantics argument.
@@junglesuperstar9270 this is a very trivial nitpick, we’re talking about a terrible and tragic loss of a life and you’re upset because someone referred to her as a kid?
@@PurpleNoirNo, they're upset that somebody referred to her as a young woman.
Poor young lady. Thank you to the hard working cold case workers.
I’ve read some biographies that mentioned that club, I think the owner got wacked - sounded like a sketchy scene, but it was a hot spot in the 60’s
Why did they need w composite photo? Did her family not put photos out when she went missing?
It appears no one reported her missing. Sickening.
Sometimes they would try to report young people missing but this was the 60's -often police just assumed they were hippies and ran away
@@fremontpathfinder8463 Yes, times were different back then!
Not even her employer?
The sleuths on Reddit found some more information on her. I hope Patricia gets justice soon.
Hopefully they also found pictures of what she looked like in life.
This was the Irish gang "The Westies" territory. They took payment on everything, especially bars and clubs in that neighborhood. She had an Irish last name. Wouldn't be surprised if they had a hand in it. A few blocks away on 43rd street and 10th ave was one of their main bars where they used "dispose" of bodies after closing. They were ruthless. Sad.
❤ makes sense.
Wonder if they killed her to get to her child...
Poor child. May she rest in peace & her murderer found & punished.
Someone did her wrong poor girl.....hope they find the monster who ended her life . Amazing police work
They don't have a single actual photo of her? That's kind of sad.
there are her real photos but her idendity is still unknown. When they uncover whose child was she then her real life pictures will be shown by her family. her life story will be unfolded and known.
'Kind of' ?
@@fatihkan2601 They do know her identity. They show her birth certificate at 1:37.
@@nathanjamesbaker I don't mean documents that proves her identity. How do you really define identity? Her real life. Family members, anyone who can provide any memories about her is her identity
@@fatihkan2601 Now you're engaging in revisionist commenting. You originally wrote "When they uncover whose child was she." Her parents are named on screen at 1:37.
The parents have some explaining to do, but they are likely deceased. Maybe the pregnancy happened while she was still living in the home and she was sent away. Maybe she was a runaway, and the parents lost track of her after a couple of years. There may be someone in her 50's who may be the child that this child gave birth to.
They might be elderly but most likely they are dead but there are family members of hers that are alive but the husband needs to be tracked down he might be the killer if he’s alive or someone he knew
Her parents were likely born in the 1900s-1920s, 1930s maybe if one or both of em became teen parents. In all cases, _very_ slim chances they're still alive.
According to an article from CTV News, her father died in 1963. Other news sources state both are now deceased.
@@SilasGTBronte she also had no siblings according to an article she has relatives but the immediate family is dead such as her parents if they want to find a picture to compare the composite to they might have to track down class photos if that’s even still possible
I'd love to get the update on this case. So glad this woman finally been named.
This better make it to dateline or 48hours. She’s a baby and we’re all emotionally invested to see that she gets justice.
A news article says,
"Police have not named any potential suspects but Glas said that her former husband was connected to the building where her remains were found. "
Respect to the tireless work of the forensics team in finally being able to give this poor girl an identity.
Godspeed to getting justice for this poor soul. Prayer and thought go out
Lord..Only 16...😞🙏🏽
I hope she receives justice finally😢😢
She’s been gone since the 60s??? Her assailants got away.
Modern science and technology truly are amazing.
R.I.P. Patricia 🙏 I hope you get justice ⚖️

Steve Paul's the Scene was an Epic Rock and Roll hang out. Johnny Winter, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and so many others all hung out there after shows and jammed. Unfortunately, the spot was targeted by a Tony Sirico, yes that Tony Sirico. Tony was notorious for mooching admission, free drinks, cracking skulls and then shaking down Steve Paul and tormenting the talent, especially Jimi Hendrix whom he tortured during his worst years of heroin addiction. Wonder what he and the mobsters he brought in knew about this murder?
Unbelievable. Whatever happened there.
@@Pyrrhic537 Sirico cracked many skulls in that basement. Wouldn’t put homicide or accessory past him. Dig deep. These low level goons forced Steve Paul to close his club and go into hiding
And you know this how?
How about a link?
The brutality of this world never ceases to amaze me.
Yes. So sick.
10% of humans are sociopaths so go figure.
Thank you to everyone, who helped identify this child. God rest her sole and may she have justice.
Rest in peace Patricia ❤
Killed in 1969, remains found in 2003, identified in 2024. That's 55 years and going. The justice system really makes me depressed with these stories.
Great job by this detective. Detective Ryan Glas
You can see by the emotions on his face and in his eyes that he truly cares.
Nice to see there are still some good cops out there.
I feel so bad about how they had her jewelry and no body, not even family, spoke up.
Yep, the ring even had her name: PMcG. If she had been reported missing, she would have been identified in 2003.
I remember this case from America’s Most Wanted. I was 14 years old when I watched that in 2007. Glad it was identified
Absolutely fascinating! Wow! I just love forensic science.
Someone once cared about about her to give her that ring
Rest In Peace 🕊️ Patricia.
wouldve liked to see remaining family members interviewed!
Great job 👏🏽 everyone who finalized this case and found out her identity.
🙏🏽💐 praying for the rest to be uncovered.
Glad they identified her. May she RIP.
Great job, Detective.
May she rest in peace.
16? What was that poor girl doing at a club where only adults are allowed?
The 60s were the wild west. Enforcement was quite loose at the time. so a 16 yr old pretty girl in club was quite common at that time.
If she was murdered in 1969, I doubt the murderer is still around. The police would obviously start with employees at the bar and club. With neither still being around, I'm not sure of what record trail there is.
"Got killed." No, was murdered.
What a tragedy. I’m sorry kid. You didn’t deserve this.
Thank you officers and reporter for bringing this to light. There is hope for justice after all this years. God help and bless the innocents in this world. 💔💔💔
Someone knows something. Are their any real photos of her? Are her parents still alive? Who was the relative who died on 911 and did they even know Patricia existed?
The person who died on 9/11 was a cousin and it’s unknown if the parents are alive but her husband might still be alive
I'm with this man. Every child has a mother. Catch ever did this.
Thank you all for your dedication, honor, respect, and hard work on this case...... Great job 👏🏽
The concrete encasement really narrows it down. Who would have the time and privacy to lay concrete other than an owner or employee?
She's only a few weeks older than I am. That brings it close. Think of all the life she missed. RIP, Patricia.
so, no pic?
People she went to school with asking what her last days were like suspicious people that were notice n her final days
From 1969?
R.I.P. this now identified young woman.
What a sad story. Poor girl.
A 16 year old child ... with a 21 year old mother and a 45 year old father.
This was never going to end well.
What makes you say that? Some studies find the relationship satisfaction reported by couples with a significant age gap to be higher than in others. Such couples also tend to report greater trust and commitment and lower jealousy than with similar-age couples. These relationships can work. Disclaimer: There's just a two-year difference between myself and my wife. 😃
Imagine living in an apt with a buried teen under your floor 😬😬😬
Think of all the people and objects that lie hidden beneath our feet that are yet to be found.🤔
Heartbreaking
Wait she was 16 years of age and they are saying she buried with a plastic toy that may have belonged to her child? How old was she when she gave birth? What is the youngest someone would be playing with toy soldiers? Maybe 4 at the youngest? So she gave birth at 12? What makes them think the toy soldier was a toy of a kid she gave birth to?
Yeah could have been kids she was babysitting or more likely a younger sibling
How does anyone end up like this. Much sadness. The perpetrators would likely have already aged out in life at this point in time and karma would've played its part.
It's sad that her parents are no longer alive, but hopefully this will bring a sense of closure to her siblings and her extended family. May she rest in peace. 🌸
Closure? They never reported her missing.
@@codename495 😳
This is a lot of work and piecing the puzzle together. Shoutout to law enforcement for doing this leg work. RIP
So happy to hear about the identification. I remember first hearing about it back in 2006 when it aired on “America’s Most Wanted”. They aired it a few times but I don’t remember any substantial leads or updates back then. And it was also one of the first cases involving an unidentified victim that I had been made aware of. The other two being “Boy in the Box” and “Lake Pontchartrain Jane Doe”, both cases also featured on the show. Below is a link to the Midtown Jane Doe segment of AMW from 2006 in case anyone is interested.

Rest in peace, Patricia. 🙏🏽
Fact, there are more than 500,000 missing persons in north America EVERY year! Try to figure that out?
GREAT JOB LEO INVESTIGATED TO SOLVE THAT COLD CASE..
RIP gentle soul
"Everybody has a daughter..."
Unbelievable. Rest in paradise Patricia. 💙🙏💙
I want more information. Was she ever reported missing? Where was she living at the time? etc
It's never too late to serve justice, and give closure.
Someone went through alot of trouble to get rid of a 16 year old girl. Hearing that she possibly had a child makes you wonder if the father of the child is behind her murder, and where is the child? Alot of questions that hopefully will have answers sooner rather than later...
That marriage license shows a major clue. Some older man had married her before her death.
meanwhile, millions live on the streets close to death with no concern from the authorities.
Yes, and some of them want to live on the streets for the alleged freedom that it gives them. I've been told that by homeless in NYC.
That is the most Jane Doe looking woman I’ve ever seen
An Irish teenager disappears in Hells Kitchen?
Sounds like The Westies.
And no one ever reported her missing?
Sad that there's not even a picture of her.
That’s so sad
So much suffering
Its important to find her son first. but 16 year old mum? is it possible at that time? i dont know, maybe cousin or younger brother. I feel that whoever the killer is has already died of old age or accident or sickness. we dont know how long has it been in that cement before 1969. the person from 9/11 could be her son, i mean by age, and it would be even more sad.
Yes, it is DEFINITELY POSSIBLE for a 16-year-old girl to get pregnant! Most girls will start menarche anywhere from 10 or 11 to 16, so it was a strong possibility!
Profile from DNA. Wow! Had no idea such a thing could be done.

Rest in peace sweet child.
