    Sheriff: DNA may show if exhumed body is Belgium woman

    SALINA — Saline County authorities say a body exhumed this week could be that of a woman missing from Belgium.

    Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said Tuesday DNA will determine the identity of a body exhumed from Gypsum Hill Cemetery.

    The woman, referred to as “Miss Molly,” was buried 33 years ago after her body was found in January 1986 in a creek near Salina.

    Soldan told The Topeka Capital-Journal the death was investigated as a homicide because the woman was beaten and thrown off a bridge into the creek.

    He says Interpol in Europe has DNA from the missing Belgium woman but Kansas authorities didn’t have DNA to try for a match until the exhumation.

    Soldan says DNA tests could take six to eight months.
