ELLENSBURG — The human remains found last September on Suncadia Resort property near Cle Elum have been identified as a 22-year-old Seattle woman who disappeared in 1972.
The Kittitas County sheriff’s office says Kerry M. May was married at the time and was reported missing by her mother. She was identified with the help of the King County medical examiner’s office through a forensic sketch recognized by her family and a DNA sample from her mother collected in 2004 by detectives investigating the Green River serial killings.
King County Sgt. John Urquhart says it does not necessarily mean May is a Green River victim, just that she was missing at the time of the investigation.
Her body was discovered by workers at a golf course water system project.
