Salt Lake County Detectives
hope some innovative
investigative work will help
them crack a difficult case.
Three months ago, bird
hunters found the skeletal remains of a young woman
on the edge of the Great Salt Lake. Now,
investigators think a clay model will jog someone's
memory.
Twenty-six bones of a female skeleton were
unearthed from a shallow grave October 9th. Investigators had no clues other than
the bones.
A forensics expert started
working with the jaw and
skull bones and came up
with a clay bust. They
believe it is a good likeness.
Here's what they know about the woman. She was
approximately five feet tall, petite, and in her late
teens. She died about two years ago.
Detectives aren't sure if this is a homicide. It could
be a murder, or a drug overdose, or any number of other things.
If you
recognize this woman or know anything about her call
the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Department at
(801) 973-7000 or (801) 743-5826.
