(WBAP/KLIF) — A Dallas woman missing since 1980 has been found. 26 year old Lily Ann Prendergast left her family home after an argument in 1980…never to be heard from again.
After nearly 40 years, the family discovered that Prendergast was the victim of a cold case murder in California. The Sacramento county sheriff’s office had found the body of the young woman in October of 1981 along Interstate 5, but could never identify her skeletal remains.
That was until a match to familial DNA submitted to the FBI in 2019. According to WFAA, the family says that Prendergast was known to hitchhike, which may provide an insight of why she was found along the interstate. Police are still searching for the woman’s killer.
