SALINE COUNTY—Updated DNA testing has confirmed the identification of "Miss Molly," as Robin Ann Green from Los Angeles, California, Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan announced during a Tuesday news conference.
Her body was found in a creek along Interstate 70 in Saline County on Jan. 25, 1986. She was last seen on Dec. 28, 1985 after visiting family members in Minnesota, according to the sheriff.
Green and her husband had lived in southern California. The house they lived in was seized as part of a drug investigation, according to Soldan. He died in 2007.
Robin Green's family made a request that authorities not identify them. They traveled to Saline County last weekend to visit her grave, according to Soldan.
This is still an open homicide investigation, according to Soldan. Investigators don't know how she came to Kansas.
On July 29, 2019, Green's body was exhumed from Gypsum Hill Cemetery in Saline County so that samples could be obtained for DNA testing. The resulting DNA profile was entered in the FBI Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) and in late February the Saline County Sheriff’s Office was notified that a possible familial match was obtained, according to a news release from the sheriff's office.
