The body was found May 28 between two buildings in Junction City.
Capt. Trish Giordano says in a news release Wednesday that the body’s condition made it difficult to provide specific characteristics to the public.
She says the KBI provided usable fingerprints and a DNA profile. A forensic anthropologist says the woman apparently was white, with brown hair, aged between 40 to 60, and about 5-feet-10.
She was wearing a large blue/green tank top and blue/green shorts, with size 10 flip-flops.
Investigators say the woman is not Ashley Meiss, a former Army military police officer who hasn’t been seen since she left her Ogden home May 17.
