Investigators hoping hat found on skeletal remains assists in identification process

SOUTHPORT, FL – Investigators are hoping the release of photos of clothes found on the skeletal remains of a woman found in a wooded lot on Highway 77 will help them identify the body.

The Bay County Sheriff’s Office released photos today of an article of clothing discovered with the skeletal remains of a woman found January 17 on wooded property in the 8000 block of Hwy. 77, in Southport. The remains are believed to be of a female, middle-aged or older.

A red or maroon-colored knit cap was found with the remains and investigators believe it was worn by the woman. The photo is of the actual knit cap found with the remains.
