DNA Doe Project has taken on this case!

While hiking along Martindale Creek north of Jacksonburg, Indiana, on December 26, 1982, hunters discovered the skeletal remains of a woman in the fork of a tree. Clothing found with the woman did not indicate she was out for a walk–she wore high-heeled wooden soled clogs. She was clothed in a blue, long-sleeved button up blouse; a white bra; gray slacks with a stretch panel; long blue or gray knit socks; and a blue nylon jacket. She also wore a gold ring with an opal and two diamonds. Officials determined the woman to be Caucasian with brown hair, approximately 18-22 years old, and about 5’3” – 5’7” tall. No cause of death could be determined, but investigators suspect foul play. Initial indications were she had been dead for up to 8 months.

DNA Doe Project Status: Undergoing testing

I'm glad Connie's daughter now knows the location of her mother. I wonder if there will be an investigation? They mentioned suspecting foul play.
