Case History
On the day before Thanksgiving, authorities discovered the victim's body, face up, below an overpass on a frontage road near mile marker 238 on Interstate 10 Eastbound. Footprints with a chevron stripe within the dirt were present within several feet on the right side of the body. The decedent is known to have been in the company of William Knight.
Although she had been dead only a few days, her face was decomposed. Her body was exhumed in 2010, and as a result, her DNA profile was entered into CODIS and a facial reconstruction was completed by the FBI.
The victim is not believed to be from the greater Tucson area. Marana is located northwest of Tucson along I-10. Phoenix is approximately one hour north via I-10.
UPDATE: The victim was identified as 16-year-old Deanna Lee Criswell in February 2015.
