OSBI Investigates Unidentified Woman Found Near Boise City

Tuesday morning, a truck driver traveling along U.S. Highway 56 eight miles east of Boise City spotted a body lying in the bar ditch on the south side of the road.  That truck driver called the Cimarron County Sheriff’s Office who called in OSBI to help investigate the suspicious death.

A medical examiner’s report indicates the woman died of natural causes.  Now, agents are trying to identify the woman who is a Mexican female between the ages of 35 and 50 years old.  OSBI Forensic Artist Harvey Pratt has touched up a photograph of the woman as she was found.

That photograph can be found on the OSBI website at www.osbi.ok.gov.  If anyone has information as to her possible identification, call the OSBI hotline at 1-800-522-8017.
