NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — Eighteen years after the body of a woman was found in La Vergne, Tennessee, a nonprofit specializing in solving cold cases using DNA has identified her as a Connecticut woman.
The DNA Doe Project identified the woman as 40-year-old Mary Alice Maloney, who was a Connecticut native. She had been living in the Nashville area before her disappearance, according to the nonprofit.
A police officer discovered her body on Nov. 14, 2007, in a remote wooded area. There was no clothing found at the scene, the nonprofit stated, but some jewelry was found with the body.
