On the afternoon of October 21, 1971, two university students
discovered a body floating in the Congaree River while they were
walking across a railroad bridge. The body was that of a female
and was caught on tree limbs near the train trestle. She was
estimated by the Calhoun County Coroner to be between 17 and 35
years old and "probably white". The body was intact but bloated
and wearing a blue skirt, one silk stocking, and a lavender
colored slip. The Coroner estimated that the body had been in
the water for approximately 15 to 20 days. Unfortunately, the
original autopsy report cannot be located. The remains appear
to have been autopsied, with the head and hands removed,
presumably for printing and odontological analysis. After
initial efforts to identify the body failed, the decedent was
buried on Calhoun County property in a marked grave. These
remains were exhumed in 2019 as part of further efforts to
identify this decedent using NAMUS and DNA testing.
