An elderly woman's skeleton was discovered beside an old Cork railway line after lying undiscovered for years. A lengthy Garda investigation included comparison of DNA against the national DNA database, but the OAP's identity remains unknown. Detectives are examining a theory that the remains were illegally exhumed from a grave and then deliberately dumped by the rail line. Gardaí will make a public appeal to seek identification and any information about the woman's identity, whereabouts prior to death, or potential family connections. Investigators hope that a public appeal will generate new leads or matching relatives absent from existing records.
