The FBI is working to identify skeletal remains of a woman found scattered around a mile from the Presidential Retreat of Camp David in Maryland.
Police were called to the Catoctin Mountain Park on Saturday after hikers spotted a human foot, nearly 100 yards away from the remaining skeletal set.
“It’s sad. It’s disheartening. This person has a story to tell,” FBI Special Agent Richard Ruggieri said. “First, we need to figure out who it is to tell the story.”
Detectives said that the decedent had long, dark hair with braids and was carrying a glittered protective spray as well as other items.
“The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Baltimore Field Office is seeking the public’s assistance with identifying a woman whose body was found at Catoctin Mountain Park in Thurmont, Maryland, on Saturday, June 12, 2021.”
“Law Enforcement Agencies responded to the National Park Saturday afternoon after a portion of the woman’s body was discovered by hikers in the surrounding area of the Park.”
“The woman had long, dark hair with braids. She was wearing a black tracksuit, wrist guard, and red Nike shoes. She was also found with a Puma handbag and a set of keys containing an El Salvador keychain.”
Authorities have released photos of the woman’s clothes in an attempt to identify her. The condition of the remains indicated she had been there between one and six months.
