The victim was found hanging from a utility pole on February 2,
1982. Site investigation established suicide was the cause of
her death. Investigators followed over 50 leads in the case that
did not result in identifying the victim. Two people came
forward and claimed they had picked the woman up hitchhiking. A
farmer and a state highway crewman had asked the woman,
wandering on the highway, if she needed help, but she refused.
She was found not long after.
One of her keys was traced to a locksmith from New York City and
also had an address printed on it. Investigators later learned
this address did not exist. The case was passed on to De Kalb
County officials in hopes to solve the case and to have a proper
place to store the body before burial. She was buried ten months
after she was discovered in an unmarked grave in a cemetery near
Bloomington.
