Esther Granger was born in October 1848 in Indiana and was only 17 at the time of her death in 1866 , when officials believe she died due to complications during childbirth.

Her body was buried in Merrillville , Indiana , but years later , her skull was found in a home about 80 miles northwest in Batavia , Illinois , a suburb west of Chicago .

In 1978 , a Batavia resident was renovating his home when he discovered the skull in the walls.

Officials did what they could with DNA testing, but all they were able to learn was the skull belonged to a young woman, likely in her 20s , who lived before the 1900s.

The case eventually grew cold.
