A body found wrapped in plastic inside a Georgia dumpster 35 years ago has been identified as that of a South Korean woman
, officials announced Monday. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said they used DNA analysis, paid for by donors, to determine that Chong Un Kim, 26, was the person whose body was discovered in rural Millen in February 1988. Kim died from asphyxiation, but it’s unclear whether someone killed her or who dumped her body. She was found wrapped with plastic and duct tape, inside a suitcase that had been placed in a trash bin.
DNA found at the time could not be matched. The body became known as “Jane Millen Doe” and “Jenkins County Jane Doe.” GBI recently send DNA evidence to Othram, a Texas company that tries to match DNA to unknown relatives using large genetic databases. Othram said Monday that it produced new leads for GBI that led to Kim's identification. Georgia investigators said they notified Kim's family earlier this month that her body had been identified.
