Kentucky State Police identify woman killed in 1988 after new information leads them to DNA match with her son

Kentucky State Police say they have identified a victim in an unsolved homicide case from more than three decades ago after obtaining a DNA sample from the victim's son.

In a news release Monday, police identified the body recovered along a roadside in rural Owen County as Linda Bennett of Ohio.

Police say a couple from Owenton spotted an unresponsive woman while on a walk in 1988. Detectives determined her death was a homicide but were not able to identify her, despite fingerprint comparisons and forensic facial reconstructions.
