I have never posted a case before. This one has haunted me for a long time. There was something about the fact that she was found with one penny in each pocket, it just grabbed at my heart. I hope I do her justice with this post.

She was found with one penny in each of her jeans pocket.
White female
Estimated age: 15 - 22 years
Height and weight: 5'1" - 5'2" , 105 - 140 lbs
Distinguishing characteristics: Long (14 inches) dark brown hair.
Autopsy showed that her right leg was broken.
Dentals: Dental records available. She had perfect teeth, not even a cavity and may have come from an area that had flouride in the water.
Clothing: Wearing size 9 black Gitano Express jeans, Fruit of the Loom panties (size 7). Black button down shirt with attached floral vest made by Stop Light of California. One penny in each jeans pocket.

This site gives a little bit more description and info.
Estimated weight: Pathology reports put her at 105 - 110 lbs, but in life she may have weighed as much as 120 lbs.
Dentals: Available. She may have come from an area with flouride in the water since her teeth had no fillings and no sign of decay. Despite the perfect condition of her teeth, there were several distinctive characteristics that could help identify her:
A tooth in the upper right side of her mouth was chipped, but it is unknown if the chip occured before or after death.
One front tooth was short and stubby compared to the same tooth on the other side (unknown which tooth)
She still had one of her baby teeth behind the adult tooth, i.e. the adult tooth had grown in but the baby tooth had not fallen out (unknown which tooth)
She also had one upper tooth that was 90% rotated. (unknown which tooth)
Clothing details were the same at both sites except this one mentions that she had no socks, shoes, bra, or jewelry. Just the one penny in each jeans pocket. They say it is unknown if the pennies were left on purpose, or simply disregarded when her killer was emptying her pockets.
_____________________________
She was discovered on Friday, June 22, 1990 in a stream bed by Road 535 in Monroe Township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania approximately 3 miles south of I-80, not a well traveled road.
One site says teenagers bear hunting found her, the other says children hunting berries - either way she was found when they were crossing under a railroad trestle. She was laying face down in muddy water.
___________________________
Cause of Death: Blunt force trauma to the right side of skull
Estimated date of death: 6 - 8 weeks before discovery
Law Enforcement doesn't believe that she is from that area, but they do think that her killer is. The area she was found at is very remote. They also belive that she was not in the area for a long time, maybe about a month, before she was killed.
In the summer of 2002, Law Enforcement received an anonymous letter concerning the victim. LE put out a plea for the writer to contact them again, to no avail.
