Sweden - Slagsta, UnkFem, 25-50, 'Slagstakvinnan', dentures, Apr'10

[Mrs. Badcrumble]

I'm trying to find more information on Slagstakvinnan ('The Slagsta Woman') from Sweden, but I'm only directed to tabloid news media (here is a butched Google Translate link to the same article), published in 2014, but I don't think she has been identified yet. She is believed to be a foreigner (not originally from Sweden), which made me think my fellow Websleuthers could be of help.

This is what is known of the woman known as Slagstakvinnan:

• She was found drowned April 22nd, 2010. LE have no idea how she ended up in the water, and the case was first investigated as a homicide, but not anymore.
• Her age was estimated between 25 - 50 y/o.
• Estimated height: About 160 cm.
• She had reddish brown hair.
• She had upper and lower dentures.
• No missing persons in Sweden have matched her identifiers, which could indicate that's she's possibly foreign to the country and/or unreported. There's no information otherwise concerning her race/ethnicity, so I list this as "unknown" as of now.

The clothes Slagstakvinnan was wearing at the time of her discovery.

The Slagsta Woman was cremated and buried in 2013, but there's no information whether DNA, finger prints or dentals were taken of her.

As I wrote, there's very little information to find, and she is not even listed at the Swedish LE's cold case page.

Identifyers, such as DNA, dentals and fingerprints, are always taken and saved from unidentified bodies in Sweden. She’s not on the cold case page as this is not a (suspected) homicide.

As far as I know, she’s not been identified. Like most unidentied bodies in Sweden, she most likely didn’t come from Sweden. If she were Swedish, she most likely would have been identified as it’s not that easy to go ”off grid” in Sweden. My guess would be she’s from the Baltic states or Poland.

As an aside, most if not all of the cold cases on the Swedish police website are from Region South, one of seven police regions in Sweden. Two of them have unidentified victims.

Cremated in 2013? That is insane. If that happened in the 1980s, okay. But not in 2013 when DNA testing was already a widely known science. Did they keep a tissue sample?

It doesn't say anywhere, but protocol in Scandinavia is to take DNA, finger prints, and dentals, if possible, so I suppose those are kept on file.

In Sweden, identifiers (DNA, fingerprints, dentals etc or whatever is available) are always saved from unidentified bodies when they are buried/cremated.
