Incident Location Forest City Road near Lake Lotus
Altamonte Springs, Florida, 32714
Seminole County
L.E.A Seminole County Sheriff's Office, Sanford, Florida

Her remains were found in August 1973. Investigators believe she was dumped in the rural wooded area around Lake Lotus in June or July. Her remains were scattered, with no identification whatsoever. Investigators believe she was as young as 14. The only item recovered with her remains was a ring - a size 6 white gold ring with an alexandrite stone, which is a June birthstone. The ring was manufactured by Davidson & Sons Jewelry in New York City. She is believed to be of thin build, between 5'4" and 5'7". DNA testing shows that she was most likely from the Pacific Northwest. Her identity remains a mystery after all these years. Anyone with information regarding this case and the identity of the young girl is encouraged to contact the Seminole County Sheriff's Office at 407-665-6650, or email Detective Jennifer Spears at JSpears@seminolesheriff.org.
