Earlier today in a press conference, the Rock County Sheriff's Office shared the identity of an individual whose skeletal remains were found in a wooded area along Turtle Creek in Bradford Township in November of 1995. When the remains were initially discovered in 1995, several investigatory leads had been followed but the identity of the skeletal remains could not be determined.

in the identification of the skeletal remains. As a result of the work of the DNA Doe Project,
crucial leads to the identity of the skeletal remains were provided. These results led the sheriff’s office to contact the University of North Texas; Center for Human Identification for assistance.

received notification of the DNA testing results from the University of North Texas.
