(Hamilton County, Oh.) - The Hamilton County Coroner’s Office is seeking help in identifying a woman’s body found along Interstate 275.

The August 1 discovery was made by mowing crews along the westbound lanes of I-275 near the I-74 interchange in Colerain Township. So far, investigators have not been able to identify the body.

The woman was believed to be white or Hispanic, between 30- and 50-years-old, between 5’ 4” and 5’ 9” tall with a medium build, and straight medium-length dark to medium-brown hair. Some of her hair may have been highlighted or dyed golden brown.

The coroner says the woman had a “Budweiser” tattoo on her right shoulder, two red flowers with a vine on her left wrist, and a possible nautical star tattoo on her neck.

Photos of the woman’s clothing have been released, too. She was wearing a small pink bikini top beneath a medium-sized dark t-shirt and medium-sized black shorts. Her sandals were size nine. A white metal ring with a pale stone was on her left ring finger.

The coroner’s office says foul play is not suspected at this time.

Anybody with information is asked to call the Colerain Township Police Department at (513) 321-2677 or the coroner's office at (513) 946-8700.
