Newly released facial sketches of a skull may bring closure to the family of a missing woman - provided tips lead officials to uncovering the woman's identity.
The remains do not belong to either Theresa Maynette Maxwell of Hilliard or Jackie Markham of Callahan, said Nassau County Sheriff's Public Information Officer Angela Spears.
"Too young, too short," she said when asked if the facial recognition belonged to Maxwell.
The possibility of Markham's connection to the skeletal remains was ruled out by dental records just five days after the bones were found.
Two hunters found the skeletal remains around 7:40 a.m. April 10, as they hunted for turkey at Deep Creek Hunt Club.
Non-human bones were also found, but were most likely deer bones, according to a press release sent to media Friday.
When the skeletal remains were found in April, they were sent to the Jacksonville Medical Examiner's Office. From there, through an extensive evaluation, an anthropologist determined the victim was most likely a white female between 25-45 years of age. Markham was 52 when she disappeared. Maxwell was 45.
The anthropologist also determined that the woman was between 4 foot 8 inches and 5 foot 3 inches tall and had been deceased for more than a year.
A third local woman, Windy Gail Dudra Fox, who grew up in Callahan, has been missing since August 2006. When asked if the bones could possibly be linked to Fox, Spears said the person's identity is unknown.
"We simply don't know," she said. "They're investigating and asking for leads."
