Authorities have identified remains found nearly 50 years ago as those of a 15-year-old girl. Cindy Marcell Blizzard was the person whose remains and clothing were discovered in a wooded area. She had run away from her home in the spring of 1977.

A medical examiner initially determined the remains belonged to a white woman estimated to be between 16 and 23 years old. The remains were likely at the site for some time before being found. Further details about the case are available from the source.

The identification of Blizzard's remains brings closure to a nearly 50-year-old mystery.
