 Investigators with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the Malach's County Sheriff's Office have an important new clue in their investigation into the death of a woman found in an abandoned Malach's County home 49 years ago. They now know her name. Through a DNA match to family members, the BCA has identified the woman as Gloria Frieda Reichen of Minneapolis. Reichen was an 18-year-old freshman student at the University of Minnesota at the time of her disappearance. One morning in early November 1970, Reichen left her apartment on foot for school but never arrived. On November 10th 1970, a neighbor discovered the remains of an unidentified woman inside an abandoned and burned home at 2692 Keystone Road in Malach's County about eight miles north of Malacca. At the time, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office reported that while the fire did not cause the woman's death, they could not determine what did. Without knowing who she was, how she died, or how she came to be in the home, her death remained a mystery until the recent DNA match. Investigators are asking the public to come forward with any information about Reichen's disappearance. Even the smallest detail could help investigators piece together what happened. Learning her identity gave us our first break in the case in nearly half a century. Now we can try to piece together how she came to Malach's County and hopefully how she died. Again, as this is an ongoing investigation, I'm not able to provide further detail at this time but we are however asking the public's help for any information that they may be able to provide to help determine what may have happened to Gloria. Anyone with information about Gloria Reichen has urged to contact the Malach's County Sheriff's Office or the BCA at the phone numbers or email address on the screen. Tips can be anonymous.
