AI-generated summary
Human remains comprising a femur bone were discovered in Croydon Hills in May 2010. Forensic anthropological examination indicated the bone was a human right femur from a young adult, likely female, but age of remains and ancestry could not be determined. Mitochondrial DNA analysis was conducted and compared against national missing persons databases without identifying the deceased. The coroner was unable to establish the identity, date of death, location of death, or cause of death. DNA samples were retained for future identification attempts. The case remains open for reopening should new facts or circumstances arise.
