Hamilton County coroner’s officials, with the help of students from the College of Mount St. Joseph, have turned to a national database in hope of identifying a woman whose skeletal remains were found more than three years ago in Glendale. With the help of forensic anthropologist Beth Murray and a forensic artist, the coroner’s office has developed more details about the woman’s physical appearance which could help them find out who she is and what placed her at the brushy spot off Sharon Road and Interstate 75. She was found there in 2009. Officials still don’t know how she died but Hamilton County Deputy Coroner Bill Ralston said there is no indication, at least on the bones, of foul play. The woman does not fit the description of anyone reported missing locally. Murray’s students at the College of Mount St. Joseph have nicknamed the woman “The Traveler” and they are sorting through 312 suggested matches to her identity in the National Missing and Identified Persons System (NamUs). The federal government launched the database in 2009. As of August 2012, more than 20,000 cases of missing or unidentified people have been reported to NamUs, according to the federal website www.namus.gov. About 3,500 missing cases have been solved and 740 remains were identified. The NamUs databases are searchable by anyone, but sensitive data is restricted and can be viewed only by medical examiners, coroners, law enforcement officers, personnel from missing person clearinghouses and forensic specialists. Database matches for the unknown woman were narrowed down because of the additional information Murray and coroner’s officials discovered in their investigations of the remains and the place where the woman was found, Hamilton County Coroner Lakshmi Kode Sammarco said. That information also includes a DNA profile. The remains indicated that the woman may have been homeless or transient, Sammarco said. Front teeth were missing and others were ground down. “It looked like she had a hard life,” Sammarco said. http://news.cincinnati.com/article/2013071...?nclick_check=1 |
