The Kelso Police Department is asking for the public's help in identifying a woman found deceased in the Colwitz River. Authorities were alerted to the discovery on May 26, locating the body near the Mill Street railroad crossing on undeveloped property.
The victim had reportedly been floating in the river for an estimated two to four weeks. An autopsy revealed that her hair and eye color, as well as fingerprints, were unidentifiable due to the condition of the remains.
However, the woman was wearing distinctive jewelry: a ring and two necklaces. Police noted that the body did not have any tattoos. Family members or anyone with information that could aid in identifying the woman is encouraged to contact the Kelso police detective unit.
