The Denver DA's Office is asking for the public's help in identifying a woman believed to be a victim of serial murderer Richard White.

In September 2003, Richard Paul White told police he had murdered three women at a home he lived at in Denver.  He told police that he killed the first victim around January 28 or 29, 2002 and buried her in Mesita, a town in southern Colorado.  (The other two victims had been buried in the yard of the Denver home and have already been found and identified.)

In September 2004, as part of a plea agreement, White accompanied members of the Denver DA's Office to southern Colorado and helped locate human remains near Mesita.  The Denver Coroner's Office has determined that the remains are those of an adult female who has given birth to a least one child. 

These remains are still unidentified.  However, White has provided additional information about the woman he killed and has worked with a sketch artist to create a composite.  Investigators hope this information may lead to her identity.  The woman White says he killed:

  • had dark skin

  • had dark, crimped hair just a little longer than shoulder length

  • had just had her hair done

  • was blind in her right eye (because of a fork being poked in her eye when she fell off of her grandmother's lap when she was 3 years old)

  • had a bad scar on her forearm

  • was fairly tall, possibly 5' 10" or 5' 11"

  • was slender, only weighed about 120 pounds

  • had perfect teeth

  • had children

  • had a boyfriend in prison

  • might have been around 25 years old

  • was staying near the Family Motel on East Colfax Avenue at the end of January 2002

  • was waiting at a sheltered bus stop at either Colfax and Havana or Colfax and Peoria when White picked her up
