Case History
Remains were found on George Rd, just north of Noland Rd (KCMO) by a stranger while looking for firewood in a desolate area. The finder removed the remains off the roadway and placed them in a box and took them home. That is when he notified police. He removed the remains because he was afraid dogs would carry them off. No one was seen at or near the recovery site when remains were found.

I wonder what she looked like in life? I've seen that the "stranger" who found her may have been a hunter. I still wonder if he knew more than he was saying back then, though. There's just a lot of holes and questions that I have about this case. Doesn't mean anything per se, but would just like to know more.

 

[Guess Who]

I just want to add that they need to get a correct description of where she was found. George Rd and Noland run parallel to each other and they both run north and south. There is no intersection of the two and to be found north of Noland Rd would make it in the far northern area of Independence, MO.
