Circumstances of Discovery

A hunter discovered the victim's skull just a few yards from the Neuse River. While there are not many houses around the area where the skull was found, it is far from remote. Bill Lane Boulevard, a busy shortcut around Goldsboro, is just a few feet away.The model's chin may look slightly different because the victim's skull was damaged. Initially the victim was listed as male, however, DNA has confirmed the remains to be female.
