Police in Anne Arundel County have a mystery on their hands -- a body but no name.

The Sun's Andrea Siegel brings us a cold case tale of a body of a woman found more than five years ago at the northern tip of the county. Authorities have a composite sketch of what they think the woman looked like, completed from a clay reconstruction of her skull and a drawing by the FBI. Police are awaiting DNA.

The case illustrates the challenges police face in trying to lay to rest an old case with nameless, faceless remains and an unknown cause of death. They hope to bring a sense of closure to families and finality to a case. By reopening the case last month, and putting it in the public eye, they hope somebody who knew or recognizes the woman will come forward. Even a nickname would give them a starting point.
