Gardaí have issued a fresh public appeal in a bid to identify a mystery woman whose skeleton was discovered dumped by an old Cork railway line.
The new appeal is accompanied by a special sketch by a US forensic facial reconstruction artist now central to their new campaign.
The woman’s skeleton was discovered on January 5, 2021 by workmen clearing sections of the old Midleton-Youghal railway line as part of a greenway development.
One theory being examined by detectives is that the woman may have been illegally exhumed from a grave – and then deliberately dumped by the rail line where she lay undiscovered for years.
The investigation team engaged a forensic specialist in facial reconstruction from Penn West University, Dr. Michelle Vitali.
Her illustrations will be a major element of the new appeal by the investigation team.
