State police have confirmed through an autopsy that the remains found in April in Putnam County belong to Karen Ramsey, a 25-year-old woman from Southeast, who was last seen in May 1980. The autopsy also concluded that Ramsey was the victim of a homicide.
Ramsey’s remains were discovered decades after her disappearance, shedding new light on a case that had remained unresolved for many years. The confirmation of her identity and cause of death has brought some closure to her family and friends, who have waited anxiously for answers since she went missing over 40 years ago.
The discovery has reignited interest in the case, prompting state police to reopen their investigation into Ramsey’s disappearance and death. They are now actively pursuing leads and gathering new evidence to determine what happened to Ramsey and who was responsible for her death.
Ramsey’s case is one of many cold cases that authorities continue to investigate in hopes of providing closure and justice to the victims and their families. State police are urging anyone with information related to Ramsey’s disappearance or death to come forward and assist in the ongoing investigation.
As the investigation progresses, state police are working closely with local law enforcement agencies and the community to gather information and develop leads that will hopefully lead to answers about Ramsey’s tragic fate.
