Investigators hope to find new forensic evidence that might solve the 1985 homicide of 24-year-old Terry Dolowy, a University of Wisconsin-La Crosse senior who disappeared along with her poodle on Valentine's Day.

Body exhumed in 1985 murder

873UFWI, discovered in La Crosse County, Wisconsin on February 19, 1985 is now a closed case per NamUs. No further information is available.

I guess they finally managed to confirm her identity, then.

Here's a good article on Terry Dolowy. LaCrosse is in Vernon County, where Vernon County Jane Doe was found, also in a ditch, but missing her hands, rather than her head, the previous year (1984). Vernon County Jane Doe is still unidentified, but DNA Doe Project are working on her.

So was her body found in La Crosse County or Vernon? They're adjacent, but La Crosse (city) is just a short drive from the Vernon County boarder.

Nvm. I really shouldn't read the la crosse tribune on a mobile... It's skips chunks of text.

So she was found within Vernon Co., just past the border.

Yes, you are correct. LaCrosse is in LaCrosse County (duh!), but I guess she was found in Vernon County.
