Clay model to help ID remains unveiled in Greene Co.

UPDATE @ 10:15 a.m. (Dec. 8):

The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation worked with the Greene County Sheriff’s Office to help create a clay model of a woman’s face used from the skull recovered from Spring Valley Twp. May 1.

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said Ohio BCI worked with the Ohio State University and a local hospital to also assist in obtaining the data they needed to create the model.

DeWine said he’s urging other local law enforcement agencies that are working on missing person’s cases to reach out the Ohio BCI to see if their cases warrant creating a clay model as well.

Greene County Sheriff Gene Fisher said the advancement in technology has changed how law enforcement works.

“The technology available today is so much more advanced than 25 years ago when I got into law enforcement,” Fisher said.

The Greene County Coroner’s Office also said that there was no trauma to the body of the female that was found and right now they do not have an exclusive cause of death.

INITIAL REPORT:

A clay model will be unveiled today of a facial reconstruction of a woman whose skeletal remains were found near Xenia earlier this year.

The clay model was created by a forensic artist in an effort to help identify the remains.

Earlier this year, officials said the body have been exposed to the elements for a period of at least three months, but no more than a year.

Details include: female Caucasian; 25 to 50 years old; 5-foot-5 to 5-foot-10; white tank top; white bra; and black pants with a pink stripe up the leg, with a pink heart on the left thigh area that says, “Babe.”

The sheriff's office has asked anyone with information on the remains to come forward.

The model will be unveiled this morning. Anyone with information
