Dubbed 'Midtown Jane Doe', the remains were discovered in 2003 - but new developments now take police back to 1969.
A 9/11 victim's DNA helped identify a murdered girl 21 years after construction workers found her skull at a famous New York club. The remains of 16-year-old Patricia Kathleen McGlone, last seen in 1969, were found in 2003 at the former site of Steve Paul's The Scene. The venue in the Hell's Kitchen area once hosted stars such as Jimmy Hendrix. 'They were knocking through the concrete floor a skull rolled out,' New York detective Ryan Glas told Sky's US partner NBC News.
Publicly available DNA records, including those belonging to a 9/11 victim, helped identify the teenager. 'With any investigation, especially a homicide investigation, the first thing you need to have is a name to the victim, because it gives you a starting point,' Mr Glas said. 'Any little bit of information helps, especially with cold cases.' Police say they've managed to discover she was born on 20 April 1953, was Catholic and went to a state-funded school.
