ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. (WFLA) — A 1968 cold case has finally been solved after the St. Johns Sheriff’s Office (SJSO) announced the remains of a woman who has been missing for nearly 60 years have been identified.
The remains of Mary Alice Pultz from Rockville, Maryland, were identified through DNA matching and a facial reconstruction graphic. The graphic was completed by experts at the Florida Institute for Forensic Anthropology and Applied Science at the University of South Florida. .. On April 10, 1985, construction workers working on a beach walkover discovered human remains in a shallow grave on Crescent Beach in St. Johns County, the sheriff’s office said. Investigators said the manner of death was considered to be a homicide. The remains, belonging to a woman between the ages of 30 and 50 at the time of death, went unidentified for decades and the case grew cold. .. In 2023, detectives working with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) sent a portion of the remains to Othram, a private lab in Texas that specializes in advanced forensic genetic genealogy. The private lab managed to build a DNA profile from the remains, SJSO announced. .. Pultz has two living relatives: her son Norman Jenkins and her sister Patricia Allamong. She was last seen in 1968 when she left with her boyfriend, John Thomas Fugitt, who died in prison awaiting execution for the murder of his roommate in 1981, the sheriff’s office said. .. https://www.wfla.com/news/florida/skeletal-remains-found-on-florida-beach-identified-as-woman-missing-for-nearly-60-years/ Old crime scene pics at the link. |

Would the now dead boyfriend be the likely murderer?

Doesn’t really sound like that hard of a case to solve. |

Identifying the victim is a long way short of "solving" the case. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JimEb: Originally Posted By Rope-A-Dope: Identifying the victim is a long way short of "solving" the case. Well, they now know this was a woman who was last seen alive with a murderous boyfriend pretty much narrows things down. But it's not enough to responsibly close the case. He might not have done it. He might have had accomplices. There could be some 80 year old bastard somewhere grinning because he got away with it. Nothing could be finer than slapping the cuffs on his knobby wrists. Unless this prompts someone to come forward with additional info, the case should remain "cold", not solved or "Ex-cleared:Suspect dead." |

She may have had the habit of hanging with the 'wrong crowd'. Here is her actual vs. composite sketch:  And someone in Australia was thoughtful enough to do some anime:

That’s a pretty amazing facial reconstruction, actually looks quite a bit like an older her.
