Lisa Kay Kelly, born in 1955 last spoke with a relative in 1987 (she was 32). Her decomposed body was found on March 24, 1989 along the Lariat Trail - but authorities couldn't identify her at that time.

In October 2005 Jane Doe's partial fingerprint was entered into the computer system and within four hours a "hit" was obtained. Lisa was finally identified.

This is how Jane Doe had been described:

Jane Doe's body was found 10 feet from Lariat Trail on a steep decline. The black woman, believed to be between 30 and 40 years old, wore a white sweatshirt with a drawing of a chipmunk in a pointed cap, holding a wand.

Because her body was so decomposed, the county coroner's office asked Denver art teacher and forensic sculptor Daniel Marion to create a clay resemblance. He did so, and it appeared in newspapers and was broadcast on the news.
This is what the bust looked like:

The identification of Lisa Kelly is a great success story. It was on the front page of the Rocky Mountain News on 1/25/06.
