The Knox County (Tennessee) Regional Forensic Center said remains found in North Knoxville in 2022 have been identified.

Officials said the remains were found on Aug. 16, 2022 in a wooded area of North Knoxville near Fourth and Gill.

After an examination, it was determined the remains belonged to a white woman estimated to be 4′10″ to 5′5″ tall and between 30 and 50 years old.

The forensic center then partnered with Othram, a company that specializes in cold cases through DNA analysis and traditional genealogy, in March 2023 to help identify the remains through Forensic Genetic Genealogy.

After a thorough investigation, the remains were identified to be Erin C. Callahan, from Knoxville.

“The Knox County Regional Forensic Center is grateful for its hardworking team that doesn’t quit working for the unidentified,” said Chris Thomas, the center’s chief administrative officer. “We want the families to have closure.
