Missing woman’s remains found
Authorities in New York are treating the death of a Douglas County woman who had been missing for six years as a homicide.
Remains found north of Albany, N.Y., this week have been identified as belonging to Jennifer M. Hammond, whose last known address was in the Roxborough area. She was 18 when she went missing in 2003.
It is believed Hammond disappeared while selling magazine subscriptions door-to-door in Saratoga County, N.Y.
“We’re still doing our investigation,” said Saratoga County Sheriff James Bowen. “We’re in the very early stages.”
A hunter found skull fragments and teeth in a wooded area, Bowen said. The remains were identified a few days later as belonging to Hammond.
Hammond traveled from Colorado to New York with the magazine-subscription company, the sheriff said. She was last seen in August of 2003 and was reported missing three months later.
