A Hispanic female, approximately 39 years old, was discovered deceased in the Mississippi River south of Hannibal, Missouri on September 15, 2013, seven days after being last seen at Mark Twain Cave and Gift Shop. The cause of death was determined to be asphyxia due to smothering, and she remains unidentified despite available DNA and dental records. Two persons of interest—a very tall white male wearing an Iowa Rodeo shirt and a young white female in a yellow shirt—were present with the victim at the cave and may hold critical information about her death.
