'Matilda' Finally Identified as Missing Minnesota Woman

WRIGHT TOWNSHIP, Mich. - Almost three decades after her body was found in a ditch in Ottawa County, the identity of a woman detectives named 'Matilda', has been revealed.

Shelley Rae Kephart was a 29-year-old that went missing from Minnesota back in 1993. She was identified after kinship analysis that compared DNA samples from her family helped confirm the match.

In November 1994, rabbit hunters discovered the remains in a ditch near 32nd Avenue and Arthur Street in Wright Township. Her death was ruled a homicide, but the case remains unsolved.
