Case[]
On October 24th, 1988, the skeletal remains of a female were found in a remote wooded area, off a logging road north of Elma. She is believed to have died no earlier than 1982, and it was concluded that she died from a gunshot wound to the head. Her skull figure had pointed to belonging to the East Asian group, but her exact race is unknown. In 2024, the DNA Doe Project determined she was most likely of Cambodian ancestry and was probably an immigrant or from an immigrant family.
At the time of her discovery she was found fully clothed with jewelry. Among her clothing was a men’s shirt, which is theorized by some to have belonged to her killer. This shirt was tested for DNA, but the results are unknown.
