The victim’s skeletal remains were discovered on April 23, 1990 in a wooded area east of Clyde Morris Boulevard, approximately 1 ½ miles north of Strickland Range Road, along a path that leads from Clyde Morris Boulevard to Avenue D in the Daytona Pines subdivision. The official cause of death was undetermined, but it is strongly believed she was strangled with the nylon slip that was still tied around her neck upon her discovery. Her wrists were also bound with rope. Information about the skeletal and dental remains have been compared with state and national missing persons reports, but so far have yielded no clues to the identity of the victim. She was first reconstructed in 2000 with clay, which did trigger some tips from the public. In 2015, digital renderings were also released to provide an updated approximation of the woman.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (WFLA) — A woman whose body was found 33 years ago in a wooded area of Daytona Beach has finally been identified, according to authorities.

The Volusia Sheriff’s Office said on Thursday, detectives identified the remains as Roberta “Bobbie” Lynn Weber, who would have been 32 years old at the time of her death.

On April 23, 1990, a hiker walking on a trail in the woods east of Clyde Morris Boulevard found Weber’s body, but she was in such a deteriorated state that she could not be identified. Detectives said her remains were found without clothes or personal property.

However, answers later came this year when the VSO Major Case Unit contacted Orthram Laboratories, a forensic genealogy lab in Texas, for help in identifying the remains using DNA samples.

Within a few weeks, the company constructed a family tree from public genealogical sites, allowing deputies to locate Weber’s sister.

When detectives met her in Missouri, the victim’s sister said she hadn’t seen Weber since 1989 when she divorced her husband. She was under the impression that her sister died or was living in California.

The sheriff’s office said detectives also found the victim’s three children, who also said their mother was last seen in 1989.

Using the family’s DNA, Othram Labs was able to confirm Weber was the woman who was found dead in 1990.

Detectives are still working to find the person responsible for her death. If you know anything, call the VSO Major Case Unit at 386-254-1537 or email ColdCaseUnitTips@volusiasheriff.gov.

Did the children last see her at the same time as her husband? Where is her husband now? I have so many questions. I’m sure law-enforcement has a lot of the answers.
