Information
is being sought regarding the identity of an unknown female
who was found floating in the Gulf of Mexico approximately
20 miles south of Grand Isle, Louisiana in February of 1999.
The victim was found wearing her clothes and two pieces
of jewelry, a gold bracelet and a gold necklace with a butterfly
pendant. The victim's body was wrapped in a fishing net
with a 40 pound concrete block inside and bound with a cable
wire. Her body was badly decomposed and she had been shot.
A forensic examination determined that the victim was a
White female, approximately 50 to 55 years old, 5'2"
to 5'5", and 130 to 145 pounds. It was also determined
that the victim had broken both bones in her lower left
leg a number of years earlier which had healed prior to
the time of her death. The victim had also undergone extensive
dental work in the past 30 years, but due to a badly decayed
tooth, it is believed that the victim had not been to the
dentist in the past several years.
