A body found along an interstate in Texas 41 years ago has finally been identified as a 14-year-old girl missing from Minnesota. Sheriff’s officials in Walker County, Texas say new DNA technology and forensic genealogy helped them track the unidentified remains to a handful of possible relatives. Investigators eventually determined the remains are those of Sherri Ann Jarvis whose nude body was spotted along the interstate near Huntsville by a trucker in November 1980. Walker County Sheriff Clint McRae says the cause of death was asphyxia by strangulation.
