Facial Reconstruction May Help in Murder Cold Case Aug 1, 2006 10:54 AM CDT ![]() ![]() By Jeff Tang (LOUISVILLE) -- Police are hoping science and a little luck will help solve a mysterious murder case that could be more than a decade old. WAVE 3's Jeff Tang has details on the story. The bones of an unidentified woman were found in a Shively dump last year. After leads in the case went cold, the State Forensic Anthropologist Emily Craig created a clay facial reconstruction of the victim. The victim is described as a white female, between 5 feet 2 inches and 5 feet 4 inches. Investigators hope certain facial features on the model will catch the eye of the victim's acquaintances. Craig says "If you'll notice the very narrow nose. If I had to pick one feature of this individual that would stand out." Investigators believe the case is a homicide because of the way the body seemed to be hidden in some sort of crawl space. Material found near the hands and feet of the victim suggest she may have been bound by her killer. |

Police hope to unlock victim's identity Woman's face re-created in Shively case By Jessie Halladay jhalladay@courier-journal.com The Courier-Journal Who she is and exactly how she died are a mystery. But what she looked like may not be. Jefferson County Coroner Ronald Holmes and Kentucky forensic anthropologist Emily Craig yesterday unveiled a clay image of a woman's face -- constructed by using an intact skull found with other bones at a Shively construction site in July 2005. They also confirmed homicide as a cause of death. They acknowledge some guesswork -- they can't be sure how the woman wore her hair, the shape of her eyebrows and lips, or the color of her eyes. But they're confident about the shape of her face -- and believe the woman's distinctive, narrow nose might help police find her killer. And the bones indicated that the remains were those of a white woman. Such reconstruction efforts are unusual. "This is only done on the hopeless cases," said Craig, noting that in her 12 years of working for Kentucky, she has only done six such reconstructions, and this is her first in the past four years. Craig, who works 70 to 80 cases a year, went to the site on Seventh Street Road where the bones were found to help sift through the rubble, trying to find as much of the skeleton as possible. Many bones were shattered and damaged by the bulldozers. But the skull was complete, a valuable tool because of the dental record it provides. Shively Police Detective Chris Ashby said that he tracked down as many leads as he could in the case and that without an identity, it likely would remain unsolved. "This is like the ultimate cold case," said Jesse Paulley, a deputy coroner assigned to the case. "You really don't have a lot here." But if the reconstruction leads to a name, the woman's identity could then be verified through dental records or DNA, which would give police a new start for the investigation, Craig said. The bones of the woman, who was estimated to be 20 to 40 years old, were found as a construction company was clearing a lot in the 3600 block of Seventh Street Road. The lot once was the site of an old ice cream supply house and then was a junkyard that has since been cleared, Ashby said. Paulley said research and evidence from the scene led to the death being called a homicide. Her body "was purposely laid in a way to be hidden," he said, adding that the woman's hands and body position indicated foul play. Paulley and Craig checked dental records and missing persons reports to see if they could find a match for the skeleton. DNA from the bones was entered into a national database, but there were no matches. Analyzing the bones, they concluded the victim was a white woman between 5 feet 2 inches and 5 feet 4 inches tall. Tests indicated she died at least a year before the remains were found, but she could have been dead up to 15 years. Three small hairs found near the body lead officials to believe she had brown hair, but that might only have been a root color, Craig said. Craig said the reconstruction began with her placing slices of erasers, cut to estimate the average tissue depth for a white woman, all over the skull, to form the basis of a face. Tissue depths are determined from studies of hundreds of women's features. She then placed clay over the skull to approximate the shape of her nose, eyes and other features. While the image isn't like having a photograph, because of uncertainties about things like brow shape and hair style and color, Craig said, "someone who knew this victim intimately should be able to recognize this victim."

Source Information: The Courier-Journal WHAS11.com WAVE3 Cincinnati News http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/530ufky.html http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.d...mplate=printart 07/23/2005 Human bones found off Seventh Street Road Shively police are investigating human skeletal remains found along Seventh Street Road yesterday. Workers cleaning vacant lots found the bones about 10 a.m. among piles of rubble and debris behind Crazy Coconuts, 3608 Seventh Street Road, near Berry Boulevard, Shively Police Chief Ralph Miller said. Officers notified the Jefferson County coroner's office, the state medical examiner's office and Louisville Metro Police evidence technicians, who spent hours digging through the debris to find more of the remains, Miller said. He said the remains could have been at the site for a long time, and that the person's sex had not been determined. It could be weeks or longer before the person could be identified, he said The lots formerly housed dilapidated buildings and a junkyard, among other things, Miller said. http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.d...396/1008/NEWS01 Police say remains found were those of woman Skeletal remains found last month off Seventh Street Road belonged to a white woman between 25 and 35 years old, Shively Police said yesterday. The woman was between 5 feet 2 inches tall and 5 feet 4 inches tall and possibly had straight, brown hair, said Shively Police Maj. Martin Kleier. Workers clearing vacant lots discovered the remains on July 22 amid piles of rubble and debris behind Crazy Coconuts, 3608 Seventh Street Road, near Berry Boulevard. It's unclear how long the remains were there before they were found, Kleier said. http://www.wave3.com/Global/story.asp?S=3696144&nav=0RZFd55U Human Remains Identified As Female In 20s Or 30s Aug 8, 2005 09:57 PM By Justin Wilfon (SHIVELY, Ky.) -- Police are one step closer to identifying human remains found in late July at a construction site in Shively now that forensic evidence has revealed several clues about the person. As WAVE 3's Justin Wilfon investigates, police hope it's enough information to help them solve the case. Construction crews discovered the remains around 11 a.m. July 22nd at 3607 S. 7th Street in Shively after tearing down a building. Major Martin Kleier with the Shively Police Department says "in this particular case, there was large equipment which moved the remains." And that made the job of forensic pathologist Dr. Emily Craig more difficult, but she was up to the task. After weeks of analyzing the remains, Dr. Craig now says they likely belong to a white female between 25 and 35 years old. She was a little over five feet tall with straight brown hair. Maj. Kleier says the new information will be helpful to police. "Building that biological profile narrows the possible matches to missing persons." Now that police have some idea of what the person may have looked like, they begin the frustrating work of trying to solve this mystery. Right now, Maj. Kleier says police are "looking through all the missing persons files that we can come across and try to match identities that way." So far, there have been no matches. "You don't know, for one, where the person was taken from," Kleier said. "It could be from anywhere. It's just frustrating. We don't have a whole bunch to go with." But the description provided by Dr. Craig may be enough. "Hopefully, we can put a name to it and get it closed," Kleier said. Dr. Craig says the bones have been buried under the building for more than year. It's still unclear what caused the person's death. If you think you may have information that could help police identify the remains, you're asked to call the Shively Police Department at 448-6181. Online Reporter: Justin Wilfon Online Producer: Michael Dever http://www.whas11.com/topstories/stories/W...se.4b9a2e8.html Authorities reconstruct homicide victim's face 06:09 PM EDT on Tuesday, August 1, 2006 Authorities are calling this the ultimate cold case. A woman's remains were found last year in Shively and now the Jefferson County coroner’s office is doing something they rarely do to identify the victim -- they have reconstructed her face with a clay molding. Take a good look at the face: it’s not a portrait of the murder victim but the coroner’s office believes it’s close enough. Also Online View this story This is a facial reconstruction of a woman whose bones were found in Shively. Dr. Emily Craig molded clay around her skull to come up image. “Anyone who dies deserves some kind of dignity or respect in their death and this person has been lying in this situation for at least a year or may be 15 years and to me that is quite disrespectful,” says Jefferson County Coroner Dr. Ron Holmes. WHAS11 News The coroner's office has used clay to reconstruct the face of a murder victim in hopes that someone will recognize her It was almost one year ago that construction workers off 7th Street found the woman’s remains when they were tearing down a building. Authorities say her remains were stuffed a crawl space in one of those buildings. “The body wasn't buried but placed in a way and in such a circumstance that it was purposely placed in a way to be hidden,” says Coroner Jesse Paulley. Her DNA is now in the national database so they can cross-reference that with family members, but so far, no matches. The coroners are urging people who have a loved one missing to come forward. “I think once we can find out hopefully who this person is, this would greatly help the police in this investigation,” says Dr. Holmes. Dr. Craig says some of her key features are her thin nose and a flat face. The woman was between 20 to 40 years old, about 5'2" to 5'4". The woman's remains had been at that location in the 3600 block of Seventh Street Road for at least a year, possibly longer. If you have any information call the Jefferson county coroners office.
