Investigators in Maury County hope a new picture might finally crack a 37 year old murder case.
The woman's body was found 1975 but she may have been killed in late Summer or Fall of 1974.
Investigators have never identified her.
"We know a lot about her we just don't know who she is," said Detective Sgt. Jerry Williams.
The mystery began when Pattrick Moore found the woman's remains while hunting in Eastern Maury County on Valentine's Day.
His wife Betty Jane Moore says the discovery haunted her husband until the day he died.
"He was saying just imagine somebody's child somebody's brother or sister just left like that to rot," said Moore.
The new picture is giving the murder new attention.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children produced it with the help of a skull scan performed at the Maury Regional Hospital.
The victim is a black female believed to be between 15 and 25 years old when she died.
She's 5'3 to 5'5 tall and would have weighed between 127 and 137 lbs.
Investigators believe she was wearing flowered blue slacks and a red shell blouse when she was killed.
"If we could find somebody that's kin to this person we can match em up through DNA," said Williams.

Storms from Okla. weakening as they move to Tenn.
May 21, 2013 15:32 GMT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The storm system that brought devastation to central Oklahoma is expected to weaken before moving into Tennessee.
The National Weather Service included the western half of Tennessee in an area that has a slight risk of severe thunderstorms through Wednesday morning.
Meteorologist Brittney Coleman with the NWS office in Nashville said high wind and hail are the major threats with the storm system. The probability of severe storms is most likely from the Mississippi River to Interstate 65.
NWS forecaster John Sirmon in the Memphis office said rain falling Tuesday morning in West Tennessee will help ensure the approaching heavier line of thunderstorms doesn't run into unstable air. The line is expected to move across the Mississippi River between 3 p.m.-6 p.m. Tuesday.
