CORINTH, Ky. (WCMH) — Kentucky State Police are asking for the
public’s help identifying the victim in a cold case murder from
1988.
The woman’s body was found in a rural area, laying near a
roadway. Because of decomposition, she has never been
identified.
New information led investigators to believe the victim may have
affiliations to the Columbus, Ohio area and/or the Miami,
Florida areas.
A new composite depicting how the victim may have looked prior
to her death has been released with help from Texas Rangers
Evidential Art & Facial Identification.
If you have any information that can help identify the victim,
please contact Detective Johnson with the Kentucky State Police
Post 5 at 502-532-6363.
