A teenage girl found in the body of an anthropologist in 1992, in Charleston County. Although it is assumed that the girl was found in July 1973 in Charleston County, or earlier.

The second person you suggested was found in Los Angeles County so his body would have been cremated at the start of 1985. Very little chance there's anything left to test for DNA.

I have some good news about this case. While talking to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner's office last week, I found out that they found our Jane Doe's jaw bones in a storage closet.

Someone at the Coroner's office was organizing a storage closet and found the jaw bones. They also found the remains of more than 50 other unidentified decedents found from 1966-2001.

On June 13, 2025, the victim was finally identified as 30-year-old Karl Brian Hooten of Vilonia. The photograph may have been provided by the family after he was identified, and might have been taken years before he died.

Remains of man killed 36 years ago identified

Arkansas State Police say a man found shot to death in White County 36 years ago has been identified.
