A 9/11 sufferer’s DNA helped police establish remains — found greater than 20 years in the past beneath a famed New York City cope with — as the ones of a young person closing noticed in 1969, government stated.

She had been tied up with electrical cord and strangled.
The victim was wearing a ring with initials “PMcG,” matching her name, and a 1960s-era Bulova watch, police said. A 1969 dime and a plastic toy solider were also found on her, prompting police to believe she might have given birth to a child before her death.
