These words, lettered on a small granite tablet, will mark the grave of the teenage girl who was brutally beaten and dumped into Boulder Canon, Boulder County Coroner George Howe said today.

The epitaph has less than a half-dozen words. But it tersely tells all that is known of the victim.

Her mutilated body will be buried Thursday afternoon in Boulder's Columbia Cemetery – exactly two weeks after she was found in the canon eight miles west of Boulder.

Sheriff Art Everson frankly admitted, "We're up against a stone wall."

Everson's deputies have checked out more than 200 leads to the girl's identity. In the course of their investigation, they have found 20 missing girls.

But not the identity of the victim. Nor the identity of her slayer.

She had been dead for about a week when her body was discovered by two Colorado University students. Wild animals had gnawed at her naked body.

There was little to go on. Investigatiors knew the victim was a strawberry blond, five feet 3 inches tall, weighing about 100 pounds. They thought she was in her late teens. She had an appendicitis scar.

Funeral services for the victim will begin at 2 p.m. Thursday at Howe Mortuary in Boulder. The Rev. Paul Fife of Boulder's Sacred Heart Catholic Church will officiate. Then the body will be taken to Columbia Cemetery in a closed casket.

The body will be placed in an airtight rubber bag to prevent further decomposition, Howe said.

"That way, we'll be able to exhume the body for possible identification anytime within two years," he explained.
