The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation identified the victim of a more than 30-year-old homicide Thursday and are asking for public help in finding more information on the case.

Tina Marie McKenney Farmer was 22 years old when she was killed and left on the side of Interstate 75 in Campbell County in 1985, according to a TBI press release. TBI and the Campbell County Sheriff's Office investigated the case but were unable to identify her remains, and she was listed as Jane Doe for three decades. An autopsy led agents to believe that Farmer had died several days before her body was discovered, the release states.

After reviewing a blog focusing on missing persons cases last month, agents came across Farmer's name, according to the release. Farmer, from Indiana, matched the description of the Campbell County Jane Doe. Farmer's fingerprints were later found to match the postmortem fingerprints of the victim, the release states.

TBI and the Indianapolis Metro Police Department are continuing to investigate this active case. Agents from both departments are seeking information about Farmer that may help solve her murder, "specifically any knowledge about individuals Ms. Farmer may have been with before her death," according to the release.

Anyone with information relating to the case can call 1-800-TBI-FIND.
