Source Information:
The victim was located by three hunters off Mill Creek Road, a logging road about 22 miles west of Salem.
The body was originally wrapped in a blue tarp tied with a light-colored rope and covered with sticks. But by the time the hunters came across the skull in a clearing, the bones had been widely scattered by coyotes.
Investigators recovered 97 percent of the skeleton. They also found strands of medium-length black-gray hair along a path from the logging road - an indication that the woman had been dragged about 75 yards.
The bones revealed no signs of trauma or gunshot wounds.
The case hasn't matched any missing-person case in the country.
