Case Details
On Monday, July 19, 1982, the body of this unknown female was found in a shallow body of water off of Kelly Drive near the Girard Avenue bridge.  The location is very close to the Glendinning Rock Garden, at Kelly Drive and N Brewery Drive in Philadelphia.
At the time she was found, details about her were released to the public but no one came forward to identify her.  Her fingerprints and DNA have both been run, with negative results.
All these years later, she remains unidentified.
