Circumstances of Discovery

The victim was located in a wooded area, near the Chattahoochee River, in Southwest Cobb County. It appeared her remains had been dumped on the side of the road, partially covered with weeds that had grown over the remains.

Investigators suspect she may have been a prostitute. The exact cause of her death was never determined, however, it was ruled as a homicide.

The embroidered shirt she wore was traced to Doug Hide Unlimited, which employed a worker with the same name printed on it, but were unable to obtain any information of value to the case.
