| The victim was found hanging from a utility pole on February 2, | |
| 1982. Site investigation established suicide was the cause of | |
| her death. Investigators followed over 50 leads in the case that | |
| did not result in identifying the victim. Two people came | |
| forward and claimed they had picked the woman up hitchhiking. A | |
| farmer and a state highway crewman had asked the woman, | |
| wandering on the highway, if she needed help, but she refused. | |
| She was found not long after. | |
| One of her keys was traced to a locksmith from New York City and | |
| also had an address printed on it. Investigators later learned | |
| this address did not exist. The case was passed on to De Kalb | |
| County officials in hopes to solve the case and to have a proper | |
| place to store the body before burial. She was buried ten months | |
| after she was discovered in an unmarked grave in a cemetery near | |
| Bloomington. | |
