Susan Anywanwu-Corbin
A skeleton found in a bush in Dedham, Boston, USA has been
identified as the remains of a Nigerian woman , Susan Anyanwu-Corbin who
went missing in February 2016.
She was 22 years old when she went missing. The police were able to
identify the remains after some of the deceased's personal effects were
released to the public for identification.
The slim bracelet found with the remains of a young woman
discovered in a patch of Dedham woods last week had an engraving that
said “peace.”
When authorities seeking help released a photo of the bracelet
Friday, someone came forward immediately with a crucial tip: Susan
Anyanwu-Corbin, a Boston resident who went missing last year at 22, had a
bracelet just like that.
Working over the weekend, forensic investigators were able to
confirm that the remains matched dental records for Anyanwu-Corbin, a
Nigerian immigrant who was last seen in February 2016.
Police are now looking for information about her disappearance.
Anyanwu-Corbin, described as outgoing and caring, may have been missing
for as long as three months before an uncle, George Corbin, reached out
to the police.
Anyanwu-Corbin left Nigeria shortly before her 18th birthday,
sponsored by another family member. She attended West Roxbury High
School for a time before switching to an alternative diploma program for
working adults, while working a series of retail jobs.
Her remains were discovered by a man walking through a low-lying
pocket of woods just beyond busy High Street in Dedham, between the back
of the town’s municipal “snow dump” and the edge of Brookdale Cemetery.
The information developed to this point does not establish that
there was or was not foul play associated with her disappearance and
death.
Investigators said they are now looking into how she disappeared
and are asking people who may have seen her during that time to help
them piece together what happened to her.
