DNA technology has 3 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:13,119 Speaker 1: finally confirmed the identity of a young woman whose remains 4 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 1: were discovered in the state's mountains back in nineteen seventy six. 5 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: Authorities say the remains belonged to Marion Venetta Nagel mcwater. 6 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: She was just twenty one years old when she disappeared 7 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy four after a shopping trip to Tigered, Oregon, 8 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: a suburb of Portland.

Oregon State Police acknowledge the cause of 19 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: death is still unknown, but they add that mcwater likely 20 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 1: did not disappear voluntarily.
