Mystery of unidentified remains found in Youngstown in 1995 solved, detective says
YOUNGSTOWN — The mystery of the body found in Westlake Terrace apartment in 1995 has been solved with dental evidence showing that the body is that of America Williams, 30.
Detective Dave Sweeney of the Youngstown Police Department said today the final piece of the mystery was obtaining photographs taken while Williams was alive that showed her teeth and allowed two local forensic odontologists to say that the teeth of the woman in the police department’s possession are those of Williams.
Because an autopsy on the body carried out in 1995 did not determine what caused Williams’ death, the case is closed, Sweeney said, and the remains will be turned over to Williams’ daughter, Monique Williams.
