I didn't see this article posted here.
Linda Pagano: Remains Found in 1975 Identified as Missing Ohio Girl After Clerical Error Is Corrected
"A break in the case came in 2015, when genealogy researcher Christina Scates encountered a reference to "unknown white female bones" and posted about it on Reddit, where it came to the attention of Carl Koppelman, a forensic artist. "
Yes, there has been plenty of mention of Christina in other sources, but the press conference is the official telling of the story. They should have at least acknowledged that her curiosity was the sine qua non (without which, not) of everything that followed.
I also found it a little curious when the coroner's official said that they never give up. In fact, they did give up on this case. They had forgotten that it even existed, until Christina's persistence brought it to light.
