HENDERSON, Nev., May 14 (UPI) -- Police say a missing Nevada woman may have been murdered after they determined DNA from a pair of severed legs matched DNA from her toothbrush.
Weeks after Lindsay Harris, 22, of Henderson went missing May 6, 2005, while traveling to the Luxor Casino in Las Vegas, police found the severed body parts in a grassy location near Springfield, Ill., KVVU-TV, Las Vegas reported Tuesday.
It is reported authorities Friday were finally able to match the severed legs to DNA from Harris's toothbrush.
"Our family is happy that they are finally able to bring Lindsay home and that the family is finally restored," Harris's mother Martha Harris said.
Authorities said they have no clues about why Harris's legs were found 1,600 miles from where she went missing, and they haven't identified any suspects.
