PLOT :

An unidentified corpse of a woman is found half-buried in the basement of a house where a bloody and bizarre homicide has occurred. One of the police officers concludes that there are no signs of forced entry and the victims seemed to be trying to escape the house instead.

Small-town coroner Tommy Tilden and his son Austin, a medical technician who assists him, have just finished the autopsy of a burned corpse when Austin's girlfriend, Emma, arrives and gets curious about the bodies in the morgue.The sheriff arrives with the mysterious body and tells Tommy that he needs the cause of death (COD) by morning. Austin decides to help his dad instead of going to the theater with Emma, but asks her to come back later. Since no one knows the body's identity and its fingerprints are not on police records, they refer to her as Jane Doe. 

- no visible signs of trauma and no scars or marks. 

- her eyes are cloudy, which is something that usually only happens to bodies that have been dead for a few days, yet the corpse looks fresh. 

- her wrist and ankle bones are shattered without any outward signs of injury. 

- They extract from her nails and hair a kind of peat that is only naturally found in the northern U.S. 

- her tongue has been non-surgically removed and one of her teeth is missing.

- her vagina was mutilated.

- the corpse bleeds profusely, something that usually only happens to fresh corpses. 

- Tommy attributes her abnormally small waist to the use of a corset, which were commonly worn by women in the past.

- Austin discovers that the blood he stored in the freezer strangely started to leak. 

- her lungs reveals that they are severely blackened, which is consistent with someone who has suffered third-degree burns

- Her internal organs reveal numerous cuts and scar tissue, likely from repeated stabbing. 

- they find Jimsonweed (Datura stramonium) in Jane Doe's stomach, a paralyzing agent that, again, is only found in the north of the country. 

- finds her missing tooth wrapped in a piece of cloth in her stomach. They find Roman numerals, letters, and a drawing on the cloth. 

- When Tommy finally separates the skin on her chest from the body, they find similar symbols on the inside of her skin.

- Austin folds the piece of cloth and discovers the name of a passage from the Bible and that the Roman numerals read 1693. Tommy finds the corresponding passage in the Bible, Leviticus 20:27, that condemns witches. Austin concludes that she must be a witch who died during the Salem trials, since all of the evidence adds up. Tommy rebuts this by stating that those women were not actually witches, it was only a case of mass hysteria, and that her injuries are not similar to the methods used during the trials.
