Unreported Missing Woman's Skeletal Remains Identified After 16 Years

Skeletal remains found in Sarasota in 2007 have been identified as Jeana Burrus, a woman who was never reported missing. The investigation into her death went cold until advancements in DNA testing and genetic genealogy helped identify the remains. Jeana Burrus lived in Sarasota with her husband and son, and authorities are now seeking information on her and her husband, James Burrus. The couple had lived in Citrus County and Frederick, Maryland before moving to Sarasota. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office.
