This woman is the second unidentified female homicide victim discovered in League City, Texas; the first, 35UFTX, was located in 1986.
Both murders remain unsolved but may have been related in some way; both victims were found in the same area of Calder Road. This victim was the fourth body that was found in the area, dubbed by the press as the "Killing Fields."
Heide Fye’s body was discovered in April of 1984. Laura Miller’s remains were found on February 2, 1986, as well as the skeletal remains of the unidentified woman found in 1986. Authorities theorize that the four women were all killed by the same person . Police say all the women were similar in age, height and hair color and all were found in similar ways: nude, lying face up. The women were not buried, just hidden from view.
This case is included along with 26 other women in the area that have been murdered or missing since 1971. Authorities believe there may be several serial killers responsible for some of the deaths and disappearances. A task force of various local law enforcement agencies and the FBI has been formed in order to solve these cases, known as "Operation HALT" (Homicide-Abduction Liaison Team.)
Analysis of her DNA indicated she had extended relatives in Louisiana, in areas such as Lafayette Parish, St. Martin, Broussard, New Iberia, Abbeville and Breaux Bridge.
