DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. - Investigators are pushing to identify a woman whose body was discovered on the side of a DeKalb County road nearly 30 years ago.
DeKalb County officers found the remains on Sept. 17, 1993, in a wooded area off of Northlake Parkway near Interstate 285.
The DeKalb County medical examiner said the woman had extensive dental work — a fixed gold bridge, two full gold crowns and porcelain fused to metal crows on the top-front teeth — and had a full left hip replacement.
Police shared a rendering of what the woman might have looked like in 1993. Officials said she was about 5-foot-5 and 120 to150 pounds.
Officers found the woman wearing a black t-shirt with a multicolored monogram on the front that reads "WAIKOLOA," blue jeans, white leather athletic shoes that said "Cross Trainer." Police said the woman was not wearing underwear.
