A head found along a highway near the Louisiana coast three years ago has been identified as that of a Texas woman who was last seen in 2017.
Investigators used dental records to identify the dead person as Sally Ann Hines, 58, of San Antonio, news outlets reported.
Police had received a tip recently about a missing person who looked like a computer-generated image of the head, said Cameron Parish Sheriff Ron Johnson.
Hines was reported missing in San Antonio on Dec. 14, 2017.
