The details.

On June 21st, 1978, a tractor operator cultivating a grape vineyard in rural Arvin, California, uncovered the girl's skeletal remains buried in a shallow grave.

Although an autopsy done at the time couldn't establish the girl's cause of death, detectives quickly determined the manner of death was a homicide.

Despite collecting fingerprints and dental X-rays, no matches were found and the case went cold.

Very cold.

Collier was initially buried at the Arvin Cemetery as a Jane Doe in November 1978 after officials failed to identify her.

The case was reopened in 2007, and her body was exhumed from the cemetery to obtain DNA from the remains.

Specimens from the remains were sent by the Kern County Coroner's Office to the Department of Justice to enter her into the Missing Unidentified Person System, but no matches were found, KGET reported.
