Police Find Woman Scalped, but Other Clues Scant
The unusual killing has police wondering if the woman was the victim of a hate crime.
In a Aug. 15, 2011 photo, Kentucky State Police Lt. Shannon West inspects skeletal remains found near the Beaver Creek bridge on Louis B. Nunn Parkway in Barren County, Ky. Using forensic science, investigators in Kentucky revealed evidence of a gruesome crime: a woman shot to death and scalped, the only evidence the telltale markings on what remained of her skull. Detectives in a lab determined she was a tall woman, likely of Native American descent. And she was killed in modern times. But that�s where the trail runs cold.
