New Brighton police are hoping a photo of a facial reconstruction will lead to clues about the murder of an unidentified woman ten years ago.

The woman's unclothed, decomposed body was found in a swampy area of Long Lake Regional Park on Sept. 15, 2000.

Investigators believe the woman was murdered. They've never been able to determine the identity of the white, adult female, about 35 to 45 years old with brown or reddish hair.

KARE-TV says investigators recreated the woman's face to show what she might have looked like.
