Circumstances of Discovery

The victim was discovered in a bean field, approximately 40 feet north of Lebanon Road and just west of the Troy and O' Fallon Road.

She had been placed at the scene approximately two to three days prior to discovery. The cause of death was multiple stab wounds to her neck and torso.

There was no evidence of defensive wounds on the victim, indicating she did not fight her murderer(s).

What was thought to be evidence of a hysterectomy, indicates that the uterus has been removed as a part of extensive cutting, stabbing and mutilation, and that the killer may have removed the reproductive organs. It is believed she was sexually assaulted.
