Investigators released a new sketch Tuesday that they hope will help identify a woman exhumed from a Longview cemetery who was killed in a crash on Interstate 5 in 1991.

The Washington State Patrol said the remains were exhumed from an unmarked grave at Longview Park and Cemetery in January 2014.

The woman was buried there following her death in a fiery crash on the highway north of Kalama on May 14, 1991.

Forensic artist Natalie Murry used the woman’s skull and bone structures, along information from witness who saw her before the crash, to make the sketch, according to the state patrol.

Such sketches are routine for law enforcement investigations, the agency said, but are rarely used to identify people involved in a crash.

The state patrol said investigators hope the sketch can help them find leads or name the woman. The state patrol asked anyone with information on the crash or the woman in the sketch to call Detective Sgt. Stacy Moate at 425-401-7745.
