Stock images show clothing connected to a woman's remains found in late July in Buford. The clothing listed by police include a large black Miley Cyrus hoodie, size small Victoria’s Secret pants with “LOVE PINK” on the leg and size 7 pink 2014 Women’s Nike Air Max Cage shoes.

Gwinnett County Police on Friday released information about clothing connected to a woman’s skull and bones found July 29 along Interstate 985 in Buford.

Investigators are working to identify the bones, which they believe belong to a woman between 20 and 30 years old, though they are accepting tips for those outside that age range.

The clothing found was a large black Miley Cyrus hoodie, small black Victoria’s Secret pants reading “Love Pink” on the leg and size 7 pink Nike Air Max Cage shoes.

Based on the decomposition, the woman died about six months ago, according to authorities.

No Gwinnett County Police missing person case matches the remains, so the office is looking to surrounding departments.

“By giving a name to the bones, we can begin the process of determining the events in her life that ultimately led to her death,” Cpl. Michele Pihera wrote in a news release.

Authorities said last week they believe the bones belong to a woman between 20 and 30 years old who may be either mixed race or Hispanic.

A construction worker on a road crew discovered the bones in a suitcase along 985 north of Buford Drive.

Anyone with information is asked to call Gwinnett County’s criminal investigations division at 770-513-5300 or use the Crime Stoppers anonymous tipline at 404-577-8477. Tipsters that give information leading to an arrest and indictment can receive a reward up to $2,000.
