MOHAVE COUNTY, Arizona — The Mohave County Sheriff’s Office Special Investigation Unit is asking for help from the public in identifying a woman killed by homicide in 1971.

She was located inside of a white canvas sack, labeled “Deer-Pak Ames Harris Neville Co.” in green writing, that was tied up with a white rope.

She was wearing a size 14 multi-colored long sleeve top, a black long-sleeved cardigan, and size 12 burnt orange stretch pants tagged “Symphony, It’s what’s happening” inside. She had on ankle high black leather boots and bobby sox, that were likely white at one point. The woman wasn’t wearing jewelry.
