The body of a woman found in an Owen County field almost thirty years ago has not been identified, but there is a glimmer of hope with new technology...
My first thought is that those sketches do not look at all like someone who is "25-35" years old!!! To me they look like she is 45-60!!
Kentucky State Police are asking people if they recognize the woman in a new facial composite sketch after she was found dead 30 years ago.
The womans body was found May 6, 1988 in an open field 18 miles south of Owenton, near Highway 330. It was partially decomposed, and her identity has remained a mystery since.
With the help of new forensic facial technology, KSP hopes the new composite will help identify the victim and bring the case to a close.
New technology has been beneficial to investigators in other recent cold case developments, including the case of Marcia King near Dayton, Ohio.
The Owenton victim is believed to have been 25 to 40 years old when she died. She had dark brown, graying hair cut in a bob and a homemade tattoo reading "STEVE" on her upper arm.
She was wearing dark brown or black mens socks, a brown nylon blouse, Winners choice mens tennis shoes, faded blue jeans and a blue bra.

The woman is estimated to have been between the ages of 25-40 when she died. She was wearing dark brown or black men's socks, a brown nylon blouse, Winner's Choice men's tennis shoes, size 5 1/2, faded blue jeans and a blue bra.
She had dark brown hair, cut in a bobbed style. Investigators say she had some grey hair too.
Investigators said the victim had a poorly homemade tattoo of the name "STEVE" on her upper arm.
If you have any information, please contact Detective Endre Samu with the Kentucky State Police at 502-532-6363.
KSP Needs Help Identifying Cold Case Victim
http://www.lex18.com/story/38171195/ksp-needs-help-identifying-cold-case-victimInvestigators said the victim had a poorly homemade tattoo of the name "STEVE" on her upper arm.
The woman is believed to have been between 25 and 40 years old and had short, dark brown hair. She also had a tattoo on her arm of the name, "Steve."
If you recognize her, call Kentucky State Police.
Unidentified Person Case
Three ruleouts:
Linda Davis 1946 Oklahoma
Sherie Graves 1955 California
Patricia Schmidt 1964 Virginia
It includes some information I hadn't seen before: "Brown nylon blouse, white men's Winner's Choice tennis shoes size 5 1/2, faded jeans, blue bra found near by body."
Size 5 1/2 men's shoes are about a size 7 or 7 1/2 women's; women with wide feet (like me) often prefer men's style if they can find them.
There's also a new, much better reconstruction dated 2017: View attachment 132264
Jane Doe's story is not over. Three months after the UNSOLVED team highlighted Jane Doe's case in November 2018, a national agency has reached out to help detectives.
Parabon NanoLabs, a company in D.C. that develops nanopharmaceuticals and does high-tech DNA testing for law enforcement agencies, saw Doe's story and offered to provide their services to Kentucky State Police.
I'm wondering if Samuel Little may have his dates and location a bit off. There's a woman below he said he met in Columbus, Ohio. That she asked for a ride to Florida and he said murdered her in northern KY in 1984.
