On Oct. 10, 2012, Cameron County Sheriff’s Investigators were dispatched to 5 miles north of Beach Access #6, South Padre Island, Texas in reference to human remains located by a tourist. Sheriff’s investigators recovered the body of a female buried in the sand.
The Texas Department of Public Safety—Texas Rangers Evidential and Facial Identification Division provided a generic sketch and a 3D model of a female with similar characteristics resembling that of the body recovered from the beach. The female’s age is between 18 and 50, approximately 5’00”, 100—120 lbs. and black hair. The victim had her lips and eyebrows cosmetically tattooed and was wearing blue/plaid shorts with pink stars and a sleeveless purple shirt.
Now, a new genetic genealogy analysis has revealed the unidentified female to be 100% Asian with a breakdown of 45% Thailand and southern China, 36% Southern Han, and 19% Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia.
Anyone with information regarding this case, please contact the Cameron County Crime Stoppers at (956)-350-5551.
