The body of a woman found in southern Missouri in 1981 was identified Tuesday through a DNA match exactly 40 years to the day after she was found, the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Department said.
Her death was being investigated as a homicide. Knippers’ information was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System in 2012 by the Missouri Highway Patrol and the case was reopened by the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office that year, the department said in a release. After her body was exhumed in 2015, her DNA was extracted by the University of North Texas and the University of South Florida and submitted to the DNA Doe Project, a California organization that uses genetic genealogy to identify relatives through DNA research.More Related News
