Law Enforcement Releases New Information to Help Identify a
Female Found in 1975
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Ottawa County
Sheriff’s Office are seeking the public’s assistance in
identifying a deceased female that was found in a tributary of
Mud Creek in Ottawa County, Ohio on October 22, 1975. On October
22, 1975, at approximately 6:10 p.m., two hunters came upon a
nude female body floating in approximately 10 feet of water in
Mud Creek. Detectives from Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office and
agents from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and
Investigation processed the scene. The coroner’s office ruled
her death as “questioned death.” It is believed that she had
been deceased for 48 to 72 hours at the time of discovery. An
investigation by Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office detectives
ensued, all leads were exhausted, and, almost 41 years later,
her identity remains a mystery.
The Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office has never closed this case.
Due to advances in technology, law enforcement is releasing a
photo composite that has been reconstructed based on her
remains. She is believed to have been approximately 5’4” tall,
between 20 and 30 years of age in 1975, and between 140 to 150
pounds, with medium-length brown/reddish hair, brown or hazel
eyes, pierced ears but was not wearing earrings at the time, and
widely spaced teeth with very poor dental health. She was a
smoker and had given birth to at least one child, possibly
within the year. She did not have any scars, birthmarks, or
tattoos.
Also, a photo of a unique ring that the unidentified female was
wearing is being released. It is described as a wire love
knot-type ring.
Law enforcement is hopeful that someone will recognize the
composite photo or ring. Anyone with any information regarding
this individual or this ring is urged to contact the Ottawa
County Sheriff’s Office at (419) 734-4404 or the FBI, Toledo
Resident Agency at (419) 243-6122.
Any questions regarding this news release can be directed to
Special Agent Vicki D. Anderson at the Cleveland Office of the
FBI at (216) 522-1400 or Vicki.Anderson@ic.fbi.gov.

Ottawa County Ohio, Unidentified Female, 1975
HTML http://www.sanduskyregister.com/Law-...tream&lp=1&p=1
PORT CLINTON — The FBI reopened a 41-year-old cold case
involving a woman found floating naked in a Salem Township
creek.
Recent advancements in technology allowed investigators to
construct a composite image of the woman's face when she died.
With this new information now available, investigators hope
they can finally solve a longstanding mystery.
"Her death was questionable," Ottawa County Sheriff Steve
Levorchick said Tuesday during a news conference with the FBI.
"We were never able to close this case."
Two hunters discovered the unidentified woman in the evening
hours of Oct. 22, 1975, off the banks of Mud Creek near West Mud
Creek Road.
Investigators pursued the case, but were unable to determine
who she was or how she died. With their leads dried up, deputies
shelved the case until new information presented itself.
"Determining her identity is crucial if we want any hope of
solving the mystery behind her death," Levorchick said.
Push for leads
Ottawa County Detective Sgt. Amy Gloor, who works an FBI
task force, told her colleagues about the case. Federal agents
stepped in to assist the sheriff's office with a joint
investigation.
Gloor, along with FBI agents, pieced together bits of
information from the old case file, including the woman's
height, weight, and other characteristics.
"As many of you are aware, the FBI works closely with law
enforcement officers," said Ken Keppler, special agent in charge
with the Cleveland division of the FBI. "It's through this
avenue the FBI became involved."
From the scene
Levorchick said the case was immediately difficult for
deputies to handle in 1975.
"There were no obvious signs of trauma on her autopsy,"
Levorchick said. "It's suspicious given the body location and
her being nude. We hope to get to the bottom of this mystery."
She was likely dead for at least 48 hours when her body was
found, investigators said. There's evidence suggesting she may
have been pregnant within one year of her death.
"There's no indication if this area was a dump site or just
where she died," Levorchick said. "There are a lot of questions
surrounding this case."
She was buried in an Ottawa County cemetery without a marker
or any way of identifying her.
"No one deserves that," Levorchick said. "We'd love to have
help from the public to identify her."
