The unidentified woman was a homicide victim. It was discovered that Serial-killer Henry Lee Lucas lived in Elkton, Maryland, which is very close to the area where the remains were found. Investigators also found that writings Lucas made while he was serving time in a Texas prison have many similarities to the crime scene and information that was developed. It was also discovered that Henry Lucas claimed to have brought a female from Michigan to Delaware and left her body here. In 1983, Lucas confessed to killing 6 women in Delaware, but he later recanted. No local leads were ever developed making investigators believe that the victim may in fact be from the Michigan area. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investigators If you have any information concerning this case, please contact: New Castle County Police Major Jim Hedrick 302-395-8015 You may remain anonymous when submitting information to any agency.
