Over two decades ago, a human skull was discovered on a property in northeastern Utah. After extensive investigation, local officials have concluded that the remains belong to a missing Hispanic woman who vanished between 1982 and 2001. The Duchesne County Sheriff’s Office has released a composite sketch of the woman, who is believed to have been between 17 and 25 years old at the time of her disappearance. The remains were initially discovered on March 13, 2001, by deputies executing a search warrant on the property in northwestern Duchesne County. The skull was found on top of a fence surrounding the property, held in place by a wire. Initially, authorities believed the remains might be of Native American origin due to the proximity of an Indigenous burial ground. However, anthropological analysis later revealed that they belonged to a young modern woman. The sheriff’s office has not yet released further details about the search warrant or the investigation. Anyone who believes they may recognize the woman in the composite sketch or has any information regarding her disappearance is urged to contact the Duchesne County Sheriff’s Office or the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
