Case[]

Discovery[]

A farmer unearthed the decedent's partial skeletal remains buried in a shallow grave while plowing his field. Several bones were missing from her lower extremities and neck. The site was between the towns of Lenhartsville and Virginville. No cause of death could be determined, but the burial of her body and location suggest foul play. According to the Doe Network, her dentals and DNA are available.

Suspect[]

Radford University's Department of Psychology later published a study regarding convicted rapist, kidnapper, and suspected serial killer Larry DeWayne Hall. The document states that the decedent may have been a victim of Hall. He has been named a suspect in many unsolved disappearances and homicides across the United States between June 1982 and September 1993. Numerous alleged victims remain missing or unidentified. Hall continues to serve a life sentence at the Federal Correctional Complex in Butner, North Carolina.
