A woman found near the Alabama-Georgia line has been identified as a teenager who disappeared in 1988.
In September 1988, a 19-year-old woman called her mother to share her travel plans — she was in North Carolina, she said, and would soon travel back to Michigan.This was the last time the woman would hear from her daughter, and for 33 years, no one knew what happened to her.
In the mid-2000s, agents said the case was reassigned and new evidence was sent to an FBI lab in Washington, D.C. Analysts were able to make a DNA profile of the woman and entered it in the missing persons DNA database. “The GBI contacted the FBI about the possibility of using a new type of genealogy investigation that had been credited with assisting in solving other cold cases,” authorities said in a release, “particularly homicide investigations.”The woman’s mother was notified, and agents returned some jewelry found at the crime scene to her,“Without the advancements in DNA technology, we wouldn’t have been able to be of assistance and have this success,” Burke said.
