On December 23, 2000 human remains were found between a railroad track and a creek in a wooded area along Spinks Chapman Road about 5 miles northeast of Kilgore, Texas. Clothes found at the scene were a white Adidas® shirt with black stripes on the sleeve, blue jeans, a white bra and panties, and brown leather shoes from Mexico. Forensic investigators determined the remains to be female, 30-50 years old, approximately 4’0″ to 5’2″ tall, weighing about 115 lbs. While initially thought to be African American, DNA results from Parabon Nano Labs, Inc. indicate she was almost entirely Native American. The analysis also showed the woman had black hair, brown or dark eyes, and light brown skin. Authorities believe the woman died sometime between 1999 and 2000.

Among the first to arrive on scene 21 years ago was a young detective who now is the Gregg County district attorney.

“Some hunters found skeletal rains off the railroad tracks at Spinks-Chapman road,” said Gregg county district attorney Tom Watson.

What investigators found at the original scene was very little: Human remains and some clothing. The woman was noted as being between 4-feet and feet 2 inches tall.

“We searched all the missing persons reports, tried to find anything that would lead us to who this woman was,” Watson says.

Forensics determined the body was a female, 30-to-50 years old.

DNA results from Parabon Nano labs, showed she was almost entirely native American.

“We take the matches we find in jet-match then the genealogists they’re working the family tree to locate common ancestors. And having that resolution, having those answers to the mystery is important,” Lauritzen says.

Authorities believe the woman died sometime between 1999 and 2000.

I highly doubt this woman is in any official databases, unfortunately. (Also, is the height correct - 4"2?)

Now on the DDP spreadsheet. They state that her highest match is 'Highly endogamous - w/ very small segments'

Since Parabon is working on this case, I wonder if they'll release an updated composite.

Her Oracle shows a lot of Karitiana admixture, which are native people in Brazil (I googled it), never heard about it.

From the DNADoe page, bam: "Forensic investigators determined the remains to be female, 30-50 years old, approximately 4’0″ to 5’2″ tall, weighing about 115 lbs. While initially thought to be African American, DNA results from Parabon Nano Labs, Inc. indicate she was of mostly Central American heritage, likely with indigenous ancestry."

So a small woman, but not necessarily abnormally small.

I don't know about in Texas, but in the northeast there were a lot of Guatemalan immigrants (mostly legal) in the 1990s and 2000s. I was friendly with a woman who was a baker at the Panera I frequented then--she had the same general facial type as this woman.

The Kilgore Police Department’s investigators are revisiting a December 2000 case where a woman’s body was found but her identity was never discovered. Aside from some clothing and shoes found at the scene, a facial reconstruction image from the original investigation is all detectives had to go on. 22 years later, the same questions remain. who was she? and how did she get there?

Now, the Kilgore Police Department has assembled a team of investigators. Among them is someone who was at the original scene: Former Kilgore police detective Tom Watson.

The team is now armed with updated technology as the department received a new facial reconstruction and phenotyping report, which help produce a much more defined image of what the woman could have looked like.

The woman has also been part of The DNA Doe Project, and was one of 10 cases which were featured at the Las Vegas Crime Conference last year.

The team is also armed with new technology that will hopefully help bring them closer to solving the case.
