YOUNGSTOWN The mystery of the body found in a Westlake Terrace apartment in 1995 has been solved with dental evidence showing that the body is that of America Williams, 30.
Detective Dave Sweeney of the Youngstown Police Department and Theresa Gaetano, an investigator with the Mahoning County Coroner’s Office, confirmed Monday that the final piece to solving the mystery was obtaining photographs taken while Williams was alive that showed her teeth.
The photographs were taken to Robert C. Johnson and Erik R. Johnson of Boardman, both forensic odontologists who were able to determine that the teeth in the photographs matched the teeth saved in the evidence room at the Youngstown Police Department from the remains of the Jane Doe found on Wirt Street in 1995.
