Crime Victim. The case has lingered for more than 40 years in police files without the young woman, estimated to be 25 to 40 years old at the time of her death, never having been identified. On July 26, 1974, the body of the woman, a Caucasian female, was found about one mile east of Race Point Beach by a hiker through the Province Land Dunes. Her hands had been cut off and were never found. Her head was almost severed from her body. The cause of death was determined to be blunt force injuries to the head. The woman was described as 5' 6 1/2" tall and weighing 145 pounds. She had long red or auburn hair and a bandana was found near her body. She also had extensive dental work--dental records were checked all over the world but no match. The case remains a "cold case" and has been featured on several television shows over the years. Her body had been exhumed several years back and returned to its original burial site for DNA testing--There is a stone marked "Unidentified Female Body Found Race Point Dunes" at St. Peters Cemetery with only the July 26, 1974 date on the tombstone.
