Investigators ID Woman Killed In 1989

GOLDEN, Colo. (CBS4) ―
Sixteen years after the murder of a woman on Lookout Mountain authorities identified the victim as Lisa Kay Kelly. Investigators now must try to figure out how and why she was killed.
Kelly's family wasn't sure what happened to her in 1989. Relatives said she had been using drugs at the time of her disappearance. Now that they know she was killed, they want to know exactly what happened.
"Somebody needs to pay for what they did," Kelly's sister Robin said.
Lisa Kay Kelly was laid to rest 16 years ago as a Jane Doe in the Golden Cemetery. A forensic artist created a bust of the woman based on the remains found off of Lariat Train in March of 1989. Even though the bust looks just like Kelly, a connection wasn't made until last October when a Jefferson County cold case investigator ran the woman's fingerprints again and came up with an ID.
"Continuing to do research on her and talk to anyone and everyone I can that knew her at that time, was associated with her at that time, places where she had been," Cheryl Moore, the cold case investigator said. "The ultimate would be for somebody to come forward and tell me exactly what happened to Lisa in those last days."
"Whoever did this threw her out like so much trash," Robin said.
Kelly was 33-years-old at the time of her death. Her family does plan on replacing the Jane Doe gravestone with the correct name, date of birth and the words "She was lost but always loved."
