BOONE COUNTY, Ind. — The Boone County Sheriff's Office hopes a facial reconstruction will help them identify a woman's body that was found in 1992.
The sheriff's office posted an image, created by a forensic artist with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, that "depicts what the female may have looked like in life."
The department said in a Facebook post the woman's remains were found at the bottom of a hill off SR 47 near the northbound ramp of Interstate 65 on May 3, 1992. Police believe the woman, described as a white female between the ages of 17 and 22 when she died, was about 5-feet-6-inches tall and weighed around 130 pounds with short reddish-brown hair.
Investigators believe the woman was dead for less than a week when she was found.
Police said the woman had several tattoos, including one on her upper right arm that spelled "MOM" and another of a cross on her right hand. The woman also had two tattoos on her right breast, one of the word "LOVE" and the other of a cross with two hearts.
Anyone with information about the woman's identity or her death is urged to call 1-800-THE-LOST or the Boone County Sheriff's Office at 765-482-1412.
