After 45 years, the victim of a cold case in Nevada has been identified through a DNA match as Florence Charleston, a woman in her late 60s from Cleveland, Ohio who had recently moved to Portland, Oregon. The DNA Doe Project, a nonprofit organization, worked with the Nevada State Medical Examiner’s Office and the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office to make the identification. The investigation into her death is ongoing and the Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone with information to come forward.
