Unidentified for 39 years today.

I'm assuming that the sentence "Decedent who had started out as unidentified was able to be positively identified via forensic scientific methods." in the Tippercanoe Co. Coroner annual report for 2023 refers to this woman. Their only other UID case (mentioned in some of the other reports) is from the 1960s and is not in NamUs

EDIT; looking at their FAQ it says that "Demographic information is considered public, such as name, age, race and address of deceased." So I guess anybody who wanted to could shoot them an email and learn who she is?

Looks like it. I just can’t find anything saying that they ever publicly released a name
