GRAND RAPIDS -
Twelve years ago, the skeletal remains of a woman were found in Ada Township. Her identity is still a mystery tonight, but police are set to give us a fresh, 3-D view of what she looked like.
The Kent County Sheriff's Department has called a news conference for next Tuesday, December 1, 2009. Specialists have taken the skull of the woman and reconstructed what she would have looked like. Back in 2007, FOX 17 News profiled this so-called "Jane Doe" case as a 'West Michigan's Most Wanted."
The body was found at a rest stop along M-21 in Ada Township, near Sergeant Road, in the summer of 1997. Someone found bones covered by brush; they'd been there for a year or longer.
The victim was an African-American woman, between 5'2" and 5'5", between 22 and 30 years old. She had limited access to dental care, and had a tooth that was glued back into place. There were no clothes or jewelry at the scene.
The reconstruction done on this case is similar to that done in 2004, when the Ottawa County Sheriff's Department investigated a body that came ashore in Pigeon Lake. That turned out to be a woman from Racine, Wisconsin.
