Details of Disappearance

This unidentified female believed to be middle aged (aged 40 to 60) was found in Lake Michigan at Jones Island Pier #5 in May of 1974 in Milwaukee, WI. A pair of crutches was found in a barrel on top of the pier. She was believed to be Native American, Hispanic, or possibly Italian descent. Perhaps the best clue was a wedding ring. The ring had an inscription on the inside: Emiliano 28-1-1953.
