The body was found in the 5000 block of Firestone Boulevard, and coroner's investigators believe the woman had been dead between one and four years, according to Lt. Ray Peavy, head of the sheriff's detective bureau.
"We don't know much at all. All we know is that she was in fact murdered and her remains have told us very little as far as identifying her, and unless we identify her, we don't really have any place to start. We just don't have a clue at this point," Peavy said at a news conference Tuesday.
The cause of death was not made public.
"Probably the most distinctive item she was wearing came from a concert shirt from a John Michael Montgomery concert," Peavy said. "We have discovered that particular shirt came out in 1999."
The woman was white or Hispanic, 18-23 years old and about 5 feet 9 inches tall. She was wearing distinctive earrings and ring with a purple stone.
Anyone with more information about the body was asked to call detectives Rich Lopez or William Cotter at 323-890-5500.
