FARMINGTON — The remains of a Utah woman originally from New Jersey who went missing for three decades before being discovered, are back in her hometown.
Theresa Rose Greaves, 23, was reported missing in August of 1983 after leaving her home in Woods Cross for a job interview. It wasn't until 31 years later that her skull was found by a hiker on a hillside along a frontage road near U.S. 89 in 2015. The next day, investigators discovered clothing and other remains in the area.
Greaves was a New Jersey native who moved to Utah with a friend after graduating from high school in 1977.
Police suspected foul play in her disappearance, but a cause of death could not be determined.
Recently, Greaves' family raised enough money for a burial plot, but they did not have enough money to transport her remains from Utah back to New Jersey, according to the Davis County Sheriff's Office. On Wednesday, it was announced that an anonymous donor had stepped forward to cover the approximately $130 transportation fee.
The investigation into Greaves' disappearance and death continued Wednesday. Anyone with information, no matter how small or insignificant it seems, is asked to call the sheriff's office at 801-451-4150.
