A Texas company was able to build a DNA profile using genetic material from a blanket found with the body, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said.

MILLEN, Ga. — A body found wrapped in plastic inside a Georgia dumpster 35 years ago has been identified as that of a South Korean woman, officials announced Monday.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said they used DNA analysis, paid for by donors, to determine that Chong Un Kim, 26, was the person whose body was discovered in rural Millen in February 1988.
Kim died from asphyxiation, but it’s unclear whether someone killed her or who dumped her body. She was wrapped with plastic and duct tape, naked inside a brown canvas suitcase that had been placed in a trash bin. A man trying to collect aluminum cans from the dumpster found the body. Investigators said Kim had been dead four to seven days when her body was found.
Kim had moved to the United States in 1981, investigators said. She had lived for several years in Hinesville, which adjoins Fort Stewart and is 70 miles south of Millen.

Investigators were unable to identify Kim for decades, despite the use of fingerprints, dental records and a forensic sketch. DNA found at the time could not be matched. The body became known as “Jane Millen Doe” and “Jenkins County Jane Doe.”
“There were several people that were talked to and thought they might have seen something, but nothing ever really panned out,” Jenkins County Sheriff Robert Oglesby, who inherited the case from previous sheriffs, told WJBF-TV of Augusta.

If they’re dead... They’re paying for it eternally................
She’ll still be voting Democrat.
Yep, I saw it too many times.
Sex is a powerful thing. The first sexual experience of many young soldiers, airmen, or sailors was often with an Asian woman, often a hooker. The sexual experience convinced the young men that they loved the woman, marriage ensued, and maturity later showed the men that they had mistaken an orgasm for something deeper. I watched it happen repeatedly and no amount of argument could convince the young men that they weren’t really in love.
