"The Knox County Regional Forensic Center is working to identify a woman whose body was found last summer.
According to the forensic center, her body was found on August 16, 2022 in a homeless camp near the Fourth and Gill neighborhood in Knoxville. Efforts have been made to identify her through comparing radiographic and dental x-rays with half a dozen missing person cases, the center’s wrote on Facebook.
She was estimated to be around 33 to 55 years old. The woman’s profile in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) says she was white, roughly 5-feet-tall, and had blond or strawberry blond hair. Two distinctive features listed on her NamUs profile include an 8-inch transverse scar on her lower abdomen and a 2-inch scar on the midline of her lower back.
"With the help of law enforcement, the center added that it has submitted her DNA for comparison. Additionally, the post says the forensic center has applied for a grant to pay for Forensic Genetic Genealogical testing, but it may be months before they get the funding needed.
Chris Thomas, Chief Administrative Officer of Knox County Regional Forensic Center, explained the grant would fully fund Forensic Genetic Genealogical testing for 14 cases at the center through @Othram."
"The woman’s case number listed by the forensic center is 20816-461."
