My husband is a linesman with Comcast and was just digging in the Beverly heights area of Salem. He discovered what appeared to be a human clavicle and sternum and called police. It was then that I began to search missing persons cases from Salem and came across this missing woman. The police have taken the remains to the crime lab in Roanoke.

Do you know what part of Beverly Heights ?

I was thinking about Joan today and it makes me sad that there are still no answers. 😞

Were the clavicle and sternum ever identified?
