Human remains found in West Texas in 2013 have been identified as a teen reported missing more than 20 years ago, state officials said.
The remains, now identified as Sylvia Nicole Smith, were found in Midland County while workers were surveying near an oil field well site, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) said in a statement Monday.
