about 1 ½ ft. below surface in dry creek bottom on hard pan, the sand on top
being very course and sandy. Skull showed very plain to have been crushed by
some heavy blow that crushed the skull which indicated murder had been commited
before burial. Body appeared to be wraped in a home made piece quilt which was
tied with yellow yard, there also was a piece of nit material which looked like
a red wosterd sweater, the teeth were very good no dental work, wisdom teeth
not yet formed. Remains were brought to Sheriff’s Office for further study to

From S.O.
Will give you what information we have at the present, the womans body or
skeleton was taken from a dry creek bed and was covered with 1 ½ Ft. of sand,
it appeared to be wrapped in a home made piece quilt of which there was only a
few pieces left, the rest deteriorating with the body. The hair is auburn with
a redish cast, with a natural curl and rather short. The teeth are well formed
and even, the upper jaw is short one tooth in front, which may have been pulled
in youth, to keep the rest from crowding, this leaves 13 teeth in the uppers,
the wisdom teeth either pulled or not yet formed. The lower jaw has a full set
of 14 in number with a slight crowding of the right eye tooth.

We have determined the height to be 5’ 3”, weight unknown, intend to take
picture of the jaws and teeth, and will be glad to send one if you think
necessary,
It is our opinion that it has been buried two years or more which would tend to
eliminate Miss Richardson.

We think the woman was about 25 years of age, around 115 to 125 Lbs. And the
only parts of clothing seemed to be part of a red wostred sweeter, her hair may
have been henna dyed as the long ends were more red than next to the head, as
to jewelery were unable to find any, the only thing buried with her was a mans
pocket comb in a leather case.
Details: The two bodies found in Langly Gulch near New Plymouth Idaho Were
turned over the Mr. Brooks, Sexton of River Side Cemetery, For burial, The Lady
was marked on the box as Lady X, and The Man Mr. A.
