Case History
Victim was found in a remote area at an abandoned farm house. She had been bound. The skull was separated from the body.
[McDonald County detective Lorie] Howard took two phone calls that will likely lead to the facial reconstruction of the woman Howard calls Grace. People have told her it is only by the grace of God that she will ever succeed in her solving the cold case.
...
["Grace"] had apparently been hogtied and with six different types of binding: Nylon rope, lead rope, coaxial cable, telephone cable, parachute cord and clothesline. Because of the way she was bound, both hands behind the back and tied to one leg and a shoelace, Howard feels that Grace was also raped before she died.
Howard believes Grace was killed more than a month before her remains were discovered and that it had probably happened on Halloween night.
...
The remains, which includes the skull and about 60 percent of the skeleton, were sent back to Columbia where Howard will drive on Tuesday to pick them up. ... it should only take a couple of weeks to forensically reconstruct Graces face.
Howard has already called Americas Most Wanted television program, with whom she has long been in contact, who told her that as soon as she has a face for Grace they will televise the story.
