Police in Pennsylvania have confirmed that a woman they had linked to a body found in 1973 is actually alive.
A warden found remains on October 9th, 1973 under a tarp and branches in Union Township, about 90 miles northwest of Philadelphia.
State police recently had an expert craft a forensic bust of the victim, in hopes her appearance might spur leads into the killing.
Evidence suggested the victim was 16 to 20 years old.
The forensic bust of the victim
The case has been a mystery for over 40 years but at a press conference last week the police indicated the remains were those of Betsy Langjahr who went missing in the days prior to the discovery. At that time, Langjahr was a resident in a home for troubled youth.
However it has emerged that Langjahr is still alive and has been found by authorities.
The identity of the actual victim remains unknown.
