Valerie Jones, a 38-year-old African American woman from Toledo, Ohio, was murdered in January 2000. Her remains were discovered on January 6, 2000.

DNA profiling later linked Colvin to multiple murders; in September 2006 he entered a plea admitting to the killings of Valerie Jones and four other women, avoiding the death penalty and receiving multiple life terms without parole. Colvin has since claimed responsibility for dozens of killings across several states, though not all of those claims have been substantiated.

Does anyone have additional verifiable information about Valerie Jones, where she lived or worked in Toledo, or who might help fill gaps in her timeline in January 2000?
