MISSOULA COUNTY, Mont. — Thirty-six years after a woman's remains were found in Missoula County, Montana, authorities have identified her as 23-year-old Janet Lee Lucas from Spokane. 
A bear hunter came across the skeletal remains of Lucas near Crystal Creek in Montana on Sept. 9, 1985, according to the Missoula County Sheriff's Office. Following an investigation, her remains could not be identified and she became known as "Christy Crystal Creek." Despite decades of forensics work and hours of scouring missing persons databases in Canada and the United States, her identity remained a mystery to authorities for more than three decades.
