Re: Exhumed After 23 Years For Identification
It is a lovely gesture to get a coffin when you die unidentified, as so many people just get cremated and their ashes dumped.Someone had to pay for that.Hope they can give her a name.  |

Re: Exhumed After 23 Years For Identification
From an article dated 9th April 2014: "Investigators have put a face to the victim of a fiery crash nearly 23 years ago, now they just need a name. Investigators are working to identify the remains of a woman from an unmarked grave who was killed on Interstate 5 in 1991. The woman's body was exhumed from the Longview Memorial Park and Cemetery on Jan. 8. Forensic sketches were completed using skull and bone structures, as well as witness descriptions of the woman's physical features from the last people who saw her alive. Police said sketches are a routine part of law enforcement investigations, but they are rarely used to help identify a person involved in a motor vehicle collision."  From another article dated 6th February 2018 "Helen Doe was likely a Native American woman in her 20s. Witnesses said she had a long, dark ponytail and a feather earring, was wearing a black vest and had multiple rings on her fingers. She had "a very long, slender nose and her face was very slender as well," Murry said. There was a space between her bottom 2 front teeth, and she likely walked with a limp from scoliosis."   |

Re: Exhumed After 23 Years For Identification
Good question. As burned as she was in the wreck, I doubt they embalmed her (Someone correct me if I'm wrong), I'm doubting there was much odor. I hope she got identified and reunited with family.
