Summary
What happened, as the record shows.
On July 11, 1995 a fisherman found a woman's dismembered nude torso wrapped in a sheet, quilt, plastic quilt bag, wire and tape inside a maroon suitcase in a green trash bag along Brandywine Creek in East Caln Township, Pennsylvania. Her legs surfaced six months later in Cores Creek State Park in Bucks County. She had minor facial trauma, a small amount of alcohol in her system, no drugs, and no sexual assault was indicated. Investigators theorize she was not from the Philadelphia area and possibly not from the United States. She was never identified and no one was ever charged.
