ExtractedCase narrative
Source text · highlightedOn October 6, 1971, the body of a woman was found in a then-wooded area at the end of Kilton Road in Bedford near the Route 101 by-pass. Forensic analysis at the time revealed that she had been deceased for approximately one to three months before she was discovered. Investigators knew she was between 25-35 years old, between 61 and 65 inches tall, and had brown hair. She was found wearing a maroon, pullover blouse with lace at the neck, short hip-hugger dungaree-type shorts, size 7 sandals, and no identification. The cause of death has not been determined but the manner of her death was homicide. For approximately 50 years, her identity remained unknown; however, in 2022 the Cold Case Unit in conjunction with DNA Doe Project positively identified this young woman as Katherine Ann Alston of Boston, Massachusetts.
