A leg bone found in the Ohio River last year belonged to a woman who vanished with her two young children in 2002, authorities in Indiana say.
The coroner's office in Dearborn County, west of Cincinnati, made the identification of Stephanie Van Nguyen after a dive team found her 1997 Nissan Pathfinder submerged in October.
Then, last year, an officer in Ohio's Delhi Township gave the case another look. Heather Taylor told WLWT that she wanted to see if new technology could be used to"beat the clock to the 20th anniversary."Investigators searched the Ohio River using"side sonar scan" technology, allowing them to examine the river bed. The process was like"looking for a needle in a haystack in a field of haystacks," she said.
Human remains recovered from a vehicle submerged for nearly two decades positively identified as belonging to Stephanie Van Nguyen.On Oct. 14, dive teams recovered the SUV and sent it to Indiana State Police to investigate.
