Law enforcement in Arizona are finally able to identify a woman found dead in 1971 after community members rallied together to help fund crucial DNA testing.
The sheriff’s office said that in October 2021, the agency’s special investigation unit worked with an artist to draw a sketch of what Rice may have looked like. They released the sketch to the public in hopes that someone would have information. Authorities contributed $1,000 to the DNA testing and asked the public for help with the remaining $6,5000. Within five days, the money was raised."On January 23, 2023, the victim found her voice. Through the use of Forensic Genetic Genealogy, the victim has been identified as Colleen Audrey Rice," the sheriff's office said."DNA testing of a relative confirmed this after countless hours of investigation into her family tree and contact with distant family relatives.
