FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ARIAL PRICE
The following information has been released by Richard T. Callery, M.D., Chief Medical Examiner:
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner has conclusively identified the skeletal remains of the young woman found in October 2002 off Kirkwood Highway in Newark as those of Arial Price, a 19-year-old black female. The identity was established using DNA from her remains in comparison with personal effects known to belong to her. The cause of death is still pending a final anthropology consultation.
Delaware Health and Social Services is committed to improving the quality of the lives of Delaware's citizens by promoting health and well-being, fostering self-sufficiency, and protecting vulnerable populations.
