More Information Released on Skeletal Remains Found in Sept.

The Cattaraugus County sheriff's Office is looking for help in the identification of skeletal remains found on the shore line of the Allegheny Reservoir on September 26.

A forensic exam showed that the remains are of a female between the ages of 25 and 45, but likely 30 to 40. She was 5' 1" to 5' 8" with a small build and probably weighed 105 to 125 pounds.

It has also been suggested that the remains have been in the water from one to five years.

An exam also revealed that a single rib shows evidence of a healed fracture, and there was a broken left tibia.

The remains were found with one size 6 left winter boot made of tan suede. The boot is fleece-lined and made in China under the brand name Hotcakes.

Dental records are on file with the Erie County Medical Examiner's Office for comparison and DNA is being obtained for the FBI's Combined DNA Index System (CODIS).

Anyone who believes they have information about the identity of the person is asked to contact the sheriff's office at 716-938-9191.
