Police are set to provide "significant updates" on an investigation involving the previously unidentified human remains of a woman that were recovered in eastern Ontario in 1975.
On May 3, 1975, a local farmer discovered the remains of a woman floating in the Nation River near the Highway 417 bridge, south of Casselman, Ont., about 50 kilometres east of Ottawa.
The unidentified woman become known as the "Nation River Lady," after the body of water she was found in.
