The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is asking for the public's help identifying the skeletal remains of a little girl whose body was discovered in Campbell County in 1985.

The case bears similarities to a 1985 Greene County unidentified victim case that the TBI also is investigating.

Her remains were found by a passer-by on April 3, 1985, about 200 yards off Big Wheel Gap Road four miles Southwest of Jellico, according to a TBI press release.

"It is estimated she was between 11 and 13 years old when she died and her body had been in the elements for more than a year," the news release said. "There were only thirty-two bones recovered, but her skull was intact enough for a head and face reconstruction. Found with the remains were a bracelet, plastic buttons and some scraps of clothing."

There are dental records on the child as well as DNA on file, according to the press release.

Greene County Case

The Campbell County case bears similarities to a Greene County case in which the body of an unidentified young woman was found on April 14, 1985, near Interstate 81's Exit 44 in northeastern Greene County.

The TBI also is currently attempting to determine that victim who was a white female, between 15 and 17 years old, who weighed approximately 140 pounds and who was 5 feet 5 inches tall.

Anyone with information as to the identity of either girl is urged to contact the TBI at 1-800-TBI-FIND.
