Case Details
On Wednesday, May 12, 2004 a mushroom hunter stumbled upon the skeletal remains of a woman.  The remains were located about 150 feet off of Whippoorwill Road, which is just off Paris-Colliers Road and Steubenville Pike.  The location is only about a quarter of a mile from the West Virginia state line.  It is also less than 10 miles from the First Niagra Pavilion (formerly known as the Post-Gazette Pavilion and the Coca-Cola Starlake Amphitheatre).

Over the years, law enforcement has looked into many possible matches for the woman, but she remains unidentified.
