Skeletal remains found on a Baltimore street more than two years ago still have no name attached to them. The remains were discovered at 668 E. 27th Street at approximately 11:50 a.m. on August 18, 2023, and the Medical Examiner's Office determined they belonged to a white female. Police are renewing their appeal for help identifying the woman.
According to a post from Baltimore Police
, the Medical Examiner's Office estimated the woman stood between 4 feet 9 inches and 5 feet 5 inches tall. The age estimate varies depending on the source: the police post lists a range of 19 to 39 years old, while
FOX Baltimore
reported the range as 19 to 38.
Jewelry and a Reconstructed Face Offer Clues
Police say the woman was found wearing several pieces of jewelry that could help someone recognize her: a red-and-white beaded bracelet, a clear beaded bracelet, a yellow beaded bracelet, and two white metal rings. Investigators also had a forensic facial reconstruction of the skeletal remains created in hopes that it might jog someone's memory, the police post states.
Fox Baltimore's report notes that anyone with information about the woman's identity is asked to submit a tip to Metro Crime Stoppers, the organization that works with police to bring forward anonymous tips on unsolved cases.
Reward Up to $8,000 for Qualifying Tips
A tip that leads to felony charges and an arrest could make the tipster eligible for a cash reward of up to $8,000, the station reported. Tips can be submitted through the P3 Tips mobile app, by calling the 24-hour tip line, or through the Metro Crime Stoppers website.
Cases involving unidentified remains have surfaced elsewhere in Baltimore in recent years. In one instance, the Medical Examiner's Office ruled a death connected to skeletal remains found in the 1000 block of N. Payson Street a homicide, according to WMAR-2 News. In another, WBAL-TV reported that officers investigated a potential homicide after human remains turned up in a vacant home in southeast Baltimore, with police stationed in the 2200 block of East Fayette Street as part of that separate probe.
For now, the woman found on E. 27th Street remains unnamed. Baltimore Police are directing anyone with information to come forward through Metro Crime Stoppers.
