Morrissey says it's too early to determine how Anyanwu-Corbin died or whether she was the victim of foul play, but he is asking anyone who knew her to come forward.
He says Anyanwu-Corbin's bones were found by a resident in a wooded area of High Street near the Brookdale Cemetery on April 4. When Police searched the area, they discovered nearly a full skeleton.
Morrissey says Anyanwu-Corbin migrated to the U.S. from Nigeria and appears to have been missing since February 2016. Her last known address was in Boston's Hyde Park neighborhood.
When her body was found, authorities say she was wearing a Marist College sweatshirt, Atmosphere brand sweatpants and distinctive jewelry.She lived with her mother in Boston for a few years before her mother moved back to Nigeria.
On Friday, the DA revealed pictures of jewelry recovered with the skeletal remains, which a man recognized and called police.
The medical examiner was able to positively identify Anyanwu-Corbin based on dental records after someone came forward to report that they thought the remains might have been hers based on jewelry found near her bones.
