Clay County seeks help in solving old murder case
Nearly 20 years after her skeletal remains were found near Missouri City, the Clay County Sheriff’s Department is still trying to find out what happened to a female murder victim in her late teens to early 20s.
The remains were discovered on April 18, 1985, in a field near Missouri 210 and Boyer Road. A tortoise-shell, barrette-style comb was found near the remains. The time of death may have been in 1984 or 1985. The teeth had several unattended cavities, and decay on the upper right incisors would have been visible.
