Circumstances
- Date of Disappearance
- Notes
- It is believed the victim died between 20 - 31 days prior to her body's discovery. So around early September / late August. Her remains were found by a hunter in an abandoned gravel pit beneath a 7foot log. It appears she was hit on the back of a head and suffered from blunt force trauma before she and the tree were set on fire. Cause of death is not clear. The body was badly burned making it difficult to clearly note her clothing and/or possessions. A 3ft stick with blood on it was later recovered about 20ft away as well as yet another earring (it isn't clear if they think this belonged to her). The location was about 100 yards from Highway 119 and about 25 feet from Clear Creek. The victim is between 17-30 years old with dark brown or black hair.
