A highway mowing crew found the remains of a woman who had been missing for 40 years.
On Tuesday, the Smith County Sheriff's Office said that 39 years after a highway mowing crew discovered a woman's remains along I-20, it finally could match a victim sketch to a face and name.
Detective David Turner was on the scene shortly after the gruesome discovery on Oct. 1, 1985. But aside from some jewelry and a t-shirt from Dallas's now defunct Top Rail honky-tonk, found nearby, there were few clues."Through this process, our team was able to build the family trees of matching DNA relatives,” said team lead Rhonda Kevorkian.With the help of a grant and specialty labs, the volunteers worked to match DNA from the remains to people in an ancestry database.
