The victim, who was found slain in Knowlton Township, NJ in October 1991, was identified as a missing 17-year-old girl from Coatesville (Chester County), according to the Warren County prosecutor's office.
The unnamed teen was given the nickname "Tiger Lady" because of a large tattoo of a Bengal tiger on her left calf, which investigators hoped would help them identify her quickly, according to New Jersey State Police.
She was found dumped near a rest area just off of Interstate 80 near milepost 0.6, state police said.
A major announcement in the case is expected on Friday.
