Slain woman's identity still a mystery 5 years after shallow grave dug up in Fort Worth

https://www.dallasnews.com/news/cri...ars-after-body-found-shallow-grave-fort-worth

A woman who was killed and buried in Fort Worth more than four years ago is still unidentified, but police hope facial reconstruction and DNA technology can help solve the mystery.

A construction crew discovered the victim's skull on March 20, 2013, in a field in the 7300 block of Calmont Avenue, near Interstate 30. Her body was found nearby in a shallow grave.

The body's state of decomposition leads investigators to believe she was killed between October 2012 and early 2013, but likely in the fall.

A food wrapper was found in the grave that had been manufactured in October 2012, police said

DNA taken from the a woman's skeleton found in a shallow grave in 2013 is leading investigators ever-closer to answers about her untimely death.

Although the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's office has not yet identified the woman, clues taken from her DNA hint at who she was.

According to a press release from the Fort Worth Police Department, the woman was a Latina female between 21- and 35-years-old.

Standing only 4-foot-9, the small-framed woman had long, wavy brown hair and a fixed, three-bridge unit in her dental history.

A missing mom. A shallow grave. The unraveling of a six-year mystery

At his home in North Carolina, Gelberth Barrios Monterroso was growing concerned.

He hadn’t heard from his younger sister, Ilsy Barrios Monterroso, in several days.

Those occasional phone calls, text messages and Facebook posts had been a lifeline for the two Guatemalan immigrants since Ilsy had moved from North Carolina to Fort Worth in 2003.

But that fall of 2012, Gelberth noticed, his littler sister, who was 29, was no longer updating her Facebook page. No snapshots of the kids. No selfies like she was prone to share.

The message was left for Sullivan, the homicide detective, in January.

A high school counselor had been meeting with a teenage girl. During one of their talks, the teen had mentioned that her mother had run out on her family in 2012, and hadn’t been seen since.

Suspicious, the woman and a second counselor began scouring the internet and stumbled upon an article about the police department’s efforts to identify a female whose skeletal remains were found in a shallow grave in March 2013. The article included a photo of a clay sculpture of the victim’s face.

They looked up the Facebook page of the teen’s mother, Ilsy, and noticed a striking similarity between the teeth displayed on the clay sculpture and those in Ilsy’s photo.
---
The girl told the homicide detective Sullivan about her mother’s disappearance six years earlier. She recalled for him how her mom and stepdad had been arguing one night and that she and her two younger half-siblings awoke the next morning to find their mother gone.

On that day, her stepfather drove her to school and later picked her up. That evening, while at home, she said her stepfather indicated he had just gotten a text from her mother. He even showed it to her.

It read, Sullivan said, that Ilsy had run off with another man and asked Lopez to take care of her kids.

“Tell my mother if you find her, I don’t want anything to do with her. She ran out on me. She made my life miserable,” the girl said.

(It must be bittersweet news for children to finally learn that their mum did not actually run out on them ...

They looked up the Facebook page of the teen’s mother, Ilsy, and noticed a striking similarity between the teeth displayed on the clay sculpture and those in Ilsy’s photo.

Upon receiving the tip, Sullivan also pulled up Ilsy’s Facebook page, zeroing in on her smile and finding himself filling with hope. He met with the counselors and later the teen to learn more about her missing mother. He didn’t tell the girl that he investigated homicides, nor did he mention the unidentified remains. The girl told Sullivan about her mother’s disappearance six years earlier. She recalled for him how her mom and stepdad had been arguing one night and that she and her two younger half-siblings awoke the next morning to find their mother gone.
