Sheree[1] Lynn Price was a woman whose remains were discovered in a wooded area in Lake Worth Beach, Florida, on January 20, 1997. She remained unidentified for nearly two years, and authorities believe she died by suicide.
Background[]
Details of Sheree's childhood are unavailable, but she dropped out of high school as a teenager and moved in with her boyfriend in Fort Lauderdale. She had two children and later moved to Lake Worth Beach where she faced legal issues, including arrests related to sex work and narcotics.
Case[]
Sheree's remains were found in a wooded area off Lake Worth Road on January 20, 1997, where she had been for about a year. When a cold case detective looked at Sheree's reconstruction, he was convinced it was her. However, conflicting witness accounts suggested sightings of Sheree alive after the discovery of her remains.
Due to her teeth deteriorating, a definitive match could not be made using Sheree's dental records. DNA testing compared samples collected from Sheree's femur and a sample from her brother, which led to her identification. Police believe she died by suicide.
