Tucson Region
Sahuarita police hope face sculpture will aid in ID of dead woman

advertisement More than a year after the skeletal remains of a woman were found in a shallow grave in Sahuarita, police are hoping that a clay sculpture of the woman's skull will help to identify her.
The woman's body was discovered July 11, 2005, by a man working in the 600 block of West Twin Buttes Road, near Interstate 19, said Sahuarita Police Detective Mike Linehan.
He saw material sticking up out of the ground in a wash area and found the body wrapped in a blanket completely covered with sand and dirt, Linehan said.
The cause of the woman's death was not determined, but officials were able to narrow down a few characteristics about her.
She was white, between 40 and 50 years old and was about 5 feet 1 inch tall, Linehan said. Her hair and eye color could not be determined.
Police believe the woman had been dead for anywhere between two and four years, Linehan said.
In May the Sahuarita Police Department contacted Cherie Ryan, a forensic artist, to see if she would be willing to do a facial reconstruction of the woman.
It took about 35 hours to build the sculpture of the woman's skull out of clay, and it was completed a few weeks ago, Ryan said. She gave the sculpture brown eyes and brown hair, although she admits that there is no way of knowing the true color.
"I shoot for 70 to 80 percent likeness," Ryan said. "I am hopeful that someone will see it and say, 'Gee, she kind of reminds me of my missing aunt or the woman who lived down the street.' "
Ryan began doing facial reconstruction in 1990 while she was with the Dallas Police Department, where she ran the forensic art unit until 1996, she said.
Ryan left Dallas and came to Tucson, where she worked as a detective for the Pima County Attorney's Office for eight years, she said. She has completed seven facial reconstructions in Arizona and currently is a freelance forensic artist.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to call 911 or 88-CRIME, the anonymous tip line of the Pima County Attorney's Office.

Body found in shallow grave in Sahuarita dead for long time

ARIZONA DAILY STAR

A woman found in a shallow grave in the Sahuarita desert has been dead for at least two years, police said Wednesday.

The woman's body was discovered by a man working in the area of the 600 block of West Twin Buttes Road, near Interstate 19, July 11, said Detective Mike Linehan of the Sahuarita Police Department.

"The man saw material sticking up out of the ground in a wash area and he found the skeletal remains of a woman," Linehan said. "Her body was almost completely covered with sand and dirt."

Police are calling the woman's death suspicious, he said.

The department is working with the FBI and checking missing persons reports in an effort to identify the woman, who is not believed to be an illegal entrant, Linehan said.

The investigation is ongoing, he said.

New call for information to help ID skeletal remains
Posted: Feb 17, 2011 1:47 PM EST Updated: Feb 17, 2011 2:03 PM EST
Web Producer: Laura Rios

SAHUARITA, Ariz. (KGUN9-TV) - Sahuarita police need help identifying skeletal remains that were found on July 11, 2005.

According to Sam Almodova, Public Information Officer for the Sahuarita Police Department, the remains were found in the area of 600 W Twin Buttes in Sahuarita. Officials determined that the remains had been there between 24 to 48 months.

An autopsy by the Pima County Medical Examiner revealed that the person was a Caucasian female, between the ages of 33 and 62, stood between 4' 10" to 5'2" and had an unknown build. They also had extensive dental work. The clothing found consisted of a pair of Anti-Basicx Daily Jeans, a green and brown light jacket and one white size 7 Revelation shoe.

Sahuarita PD has asked for the public's help in the identification of the person in the past, but has exhausted all leads. Recently, the F.B.I. created a sculpture using the remains as a template. If you have any information that may help identify the remains, contact the Sahuarita Police Department at 520-344-7000.

New details on skeletal remains found in Sahuarita
Posted: Feb 17, 2011 6:37 PM EST Updated: Feb 17, 2011 10:18 PM EST
By Ana Campos

SAHUARITA, AZ (KOLD) Years have gone by and a cold case in Sahuarita continues unsolved but today police hope new details will help identify the victim whose remains were found in a wash partially buried back in 2005.

A person working in a desert area 100 feet from El Toro Street discovered human bones 6 years go.

Forensic results ruled out the possibility the remains could be that of a border crosser says Officer Sam Almodova from Sahuarita Police.

"This person is of Caucasian decent not to be thought to be Hispanic decent or native American decent, therefore that is why we think this person lived in the United States some place . May have resided in another state for all we know," he says.

What police do know that is the victim was murdered some time between 2001 and 2003.

She was about 33 to 62 years old and stood 4'10'' to 5'2'' tall.

At the time of her death she was wearing white tennis shoes and Anti-Basicx Daily Jeans believed to be from Wal-Mart.

The FBI just released a sculpture of what she might have looked like.

"Someone is going to look at that sculpture and go I know who that person is and that what we're looking for," says Almodova.

Police also have dental records and DNA samples taken from her bones.

Still no one has come forward to claim the body and without knowing who she is, finding who killed her maybe even harder to do.

If you have any information contact Sahuarita Police at (520) 344-7000. You can also call 88-CRIME or 911.

SAHUARITA POLICE DEPARTMENT
Authorities hope a bust of a woman created from skeletal remains found in Sahuarita on July 11, 2005, will help identify Jane Doe. .
..Jane Doe has waited years for someone to recognize her.

Skeletal remains were found buried in a shallow grave July 11, 2005 in the 600 block of West Twin Buttes Road in Sahuarita.

Investigators determined the woman had died two to four years earlier. Based on the appearance of the scene, it was determined she was killed.

An autopsy revealed the remains were from a white woman between the ages of 33 and 62, who stood 4-foot-10 to 5-foot-2-inches tall.

Sahuarita police investigators were hoping DNA and evidence of extensive dental work would help identify the woman, but she remains a mystery.

A pair of Anti-Basicx Daily jeans, a green and brown light-weight jacket and single white size 7 Revelation tennis shoe were found with the remains.

STATUS

Recently the FBI created a sculpture of the victim using her remains as a template. Sahuarita investigators are hoping someone recognizes the woman.

"We're really trying to get it out as far and wide as we can," said Sam Almodova, a spokesman for Sahuarita Police Department. The first time the department released information about the woman, they received a few responses, but the leads dried up. She may be from out of state.

"Right now the investigation goes nowhere," Almodova said. "There's somebody out there who is missing her. She was somebody's daughter, somebody's mother, somebody's friend."
