Case History
The victim was located in a secluded wooded area, in the George Washington National Forest, off of Virginia Route 33 in Rockingham County, Virginia. The body was partially in a grave, and it was apparent that there was foul play involved.
This route is not a normal trucking route and runs through this county into West Virginia. There was a 1964 coin located and the death appears to have occurred between 1964 and early 1979. There was evidence with the dental work that suggests that the person could have possibly been a seamstress. She could have possibly been a hairdresser, or possibly had some type of habit where she kept a bobby pin or pins in between her teeth.
