She had reddish brown hair and weighed about 100 pounds.
Her petite frame was dressed in a black T-shirt with "Here Comes Trouble" on the front and a nightshirt with "Have You Kissed Your Child Tonite?"
For 21 years, no one has known her name, why she was slain and who left her in the Ocala National Forest near Lake Dorr north of Umatilla.
Lake County investigators suspect an admitted serial killer serving life in an Arkansas prison may know something about the case.
But Michael Ronning, 48, isn't talking.
The case goes back to April 18, 1984, when a man found the woman's remains in the Lake Dorr recreation area in the national forest. She had been dead for two to four weeks, and animals had scattered her remains.
A break in the case came almost 18 years later when the news show Dateline NBC did a story about Ronning in February 2002.
In Dateline's research, the producers found a traffic ticket that was issued April 17, 1984, to Ronning by Umatilla police for not having a valid drivers license. The show alerted Lake detectives about its findings and asked if they had any unsolved homicides.
That's when Lake County investigators first heard about Ronning and began investigating.
