(Estimated)

APPROXIMATE AGE:17-20 years HEIGHT: 5' 0" to 5' 3" WEIGHT: 100 lbs (Approximate)
HAIR: Light Brown EYES: Unknown RACE: White CONTACT: Salt Lake County Sheriff's Dept. (801) 743-7000

SUMMARY: On October 8, 2000, the skeletal remains of a white female were found in a wooded area off Interstate 80 on the South Shore of the Great Salt Lake in Salt Lake County, Utah. It was estimated that her death occured two years previous to her discovery. The image shown is of a reconstruction done by a forensic artist. The facial features such as eye color, exact shape of the nose, ears and lips are the estimations of the artist to complete the model and they should not be used as a significant marker for identification. She was estimated to be between 5' 0" and 5' 3" in height and her weight was estimated between 80-100 lbs. She was between 17-20 years old.

OUTSTANDING FEATURES: A unique feature is the hair, which was long enough to perhaps fall to her waist. She was wearing a bluish-purple three stringed choker necklace. (The "Date of Birth," "Age Now," "Height" and "Weight" fields are approximations)
