Case History
The victim was located at the rear of the Pilot Travel Center, a truck stop at Interstate-70 and Route 37, in Licking County, Ohio on April 19, 1990.
Deputies speculate she may have been a prostitute, who could have been killed up to 600 miles away, and dumped on the side of the interstate where she was found.
The autopsy showed she had engaged in sexual activity not long before she was killed. Police believe she may have frequented truck stops.
She was buried June 18 in Spring Grove Cemetery at the county's expense.
A sketch and her description have been distributed to police departments and 3,200 truck stops across the United States. Deputies have been unable to match nationwide missing-reports to the victim.
In March 1991, the Ohio attorney general's office set up a task force to investigate slayings of at least 11 women whose bodies had been dumped along highways in four states, including Ohio, between 1985 and 1990.
Authorities said most of the slain women were known or suspected prostitutes who frequented truckstops.
