Remains found stuffed in garment bag 45 years ago in rural Nevada ID’d as Ohio woman

Associated Press  

LAS VEGAS — In 1978, a garment bag containing a woman’s heavily decayed remains was discovered in a remote area of northern Nevada. “All these questions I had, and it turns out she was dead.” Charleston’s remains were found in October 1978 in the small Nevada town of Imlay, about two hours north of Reno. In a separate news release, Othram said Wednesday they used DNA taken from the remains “to develop a comprehensive DNA profile for the unidentified woman,” leading investigators to two of Charleston’s nieces still living in Ohio. Soon after that phone call, Othram was able to link Charleston to the unidentified remains by using a DNA sample from Liggitt’s cousin.
