Circumstances:
On the early evening hours of February 20th, 1985 (4:45 pm) a rabbit hunter found skeletal remains behind the Mississippi River levee, ½ mile south of the Mississippi River bridges. The skeleton had no clothing or even fibers were found only costume jewelry (1) bracelet on the left arm and (4) rings. The body had been covered very carefully with revetment limestone rocks (20lbs ea) from the levee area. The skeletal remains were examined, the woman had deformation of the upper left ribs and bifurcated right rib that may have been the result of a birth defect. She was very likely middle class due to her bones being healthy and has good dental care. In all after the examination a cause of death was not determined.
By June 1985 LE followed up on several leads however all resulted into dead ends. LE contacted Washington State authorities as that there were some similarities between the woman found and the Green River killer victims. The unidentified woman was in the same age bracket and some of the bodies found in Washington were buried under stones. At the time Washington authorities were still trying to locate (15) other women reported missing.
