Summary
The body of Margaret "Maggie" Sniegowski is found by a farmer, dumped along a central Indiana highway. Police say the teen had been dead for several days. At the time, however, no one knew who the girl was and it would be 20 years before the 17-year-old was identified, thanks to DNA technology.
Boone County Coroner Justin Sparks said an autopsy ruled her cause of death as undetermined. Sheriff Mike Nielsen said there were indications Sniegowski may have been strangled. The focus now is to find who killed her.
