Agency:NCOUC - Group 3
Case Type:Missing or Unidentified Person
Case Details:On May 28, 1989, the decomposing remains of an unidentified young African-American woman, estimated to be between 25 and 35 years old (more specifically 27 to 34 in some reports), were discovered in a sawdust pile amid trash and debris in a remote wooded area along an isolated logging road off Spring Road near Mineral in rural Louisa County, Virginia. The body had likely been there for five to six weeks, placing the time of death around late April 1989, during a period of warm average temperatures near 79 degrees Fahrenheit that accelerated decomposition. She measured approximately 5 feet 3 to 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighed about 110 pounds, with short black hair of unknown eye color; notable features included a well-remodeled perforation (eardrum) above one ear and evidence of a recently healed ear infection. The victim was clothed in gray Allison Tracy wool trousers (size 5) and missing a button at the waist, a light blue casual blouse featuring a front pocket with four buttons, a brassiere, and one sock, suggesting she may have been partially disrobed or that items were removed during the incident. Her death was ruled a homicide due to a violent cause, with some details described as too graphic for public release, and the body appeared to have been dumped at the site.
