She was 17 when she was killed; a high school junior from Long Island.
A convicted killer, Arthur Kinlaw, had confessed to the crime from prison in 2005, the Warren County prosecutor's office said. But it was not until this week, after DNA evidence was used to confirm Ms. Olanick's identity, that Mr. Kinlaw was charged with her murder.
Her partially clad body was found on July 15, 1982 in Cedar Ridge Cemetery, which became her final resting place as well. In life, the young woman was 5'2" in height, and weighed between 100 and 120 pounds, with shoulder-length light brown hair.
Forensic evidence revealed that she had been severely beaten before her death, and that a heavy blow to the head killed her. She may have been dead up to a week before she was discovered on July 15, 1982.
For nearly forty years, neither her identity, not that of her killer, were known. Dubbed "Princess Doe," on June 30, 1983 she became the first person entered into the FBI's national computerized unidentified deceased files.
