More than a year after the skeletal remains of a woman were found in a shallow grave in Sahuarita, police are hoping that a clay sculpture of the woman's skull will help to identify her.

The woman's body was discovered July 11, 2005, by a man working in the 600 block of West Twin Buttes Road, near Interstate 19, said Sahuarita Police Detective Mike Linehan.

He saw material sticking up out of the ground in a wash area and found the body wrapped in a blanket completely covered with sand and dirt, Linehan said.

The cause of the woman's death was not determined, but officials were able to narrow down a few characteristics about her.

She was white, between 40 and 50 years old and was about 5 feet 1 inch tall, Linehan said. Her hair and eye color could not be determined.

Police believe the woman had been dead for anywhere between two and four years, Linehan said.

In May the Sahuarita Police Department contacted Cherie Ryan, a forensic artist, to see if she would be willing to do a facial reconstruction of the woman.

It took about 35 hours to build the sculpture of the woman's skull out of clay, and it was completed a few weeks ago, Ryan said. She gave the sculpture brown eyes and brown hair, although she admits that there is no way of knowing the true color.

"I shoot for 70 to 80 percent likeness," Ryan said. "I am hopeful that someone will see it and say, 'Gee, she kind of reminds me of my missing aunt or the woman who lived down the street.' "

Ryan began doing facial reconstruction in 1990 while she was with the Dallas Police Department, where she ran the forensic art unit until 1996, she said.

Ryan left Dallas and came to Tucson, where she worked as a detective for the Pima County Attorney's Office for eight years, she said. She has completed seven facial reconstructions in Arizona and currently is a freelance forensic artist.

Anyone with information about this case is asked to call 911 or 88-CRIME, the anonymous tip line of the Pima County Attorney's Office.

The woman’s body was found by a fisherman on Aug. 19, 2007 in Lake Arlington near some pilings and other debris. She was badly decomposed. Arlington police and officials from the medical examiner’s office have tracked down at least 100 leads, but have been unable to discover her true identity. The facial reconstruction, done by local artist Suzanne Baldon, is life-sized and was created with clay around the victim’s actual skull. The victim’s real teeth are visible in the reconstruction and show her overbite and some teeth that are crooked. Investigators hope these details will bring clues to her identity and eventually, her killer. The unidentified woman is believed to be white or Hispanic, about 16 to 21 years old, about 5 feet, 3 inches tall with a medium to heavy build and medium-length brown hair. She was wearing pants described as gray, terry-cloth, Capri-length leisure pants and yellow underwear with a cartoon drawing of a chicken and the words “Chicks Rule.” She was also wearing a black metal chain necklace with a dark silver metal cross with scroll work. The cross measures about half an inch across and three-quarters of an inch high and is visible on the reconstruction.
