LEWISTON, Maine -December 2, 2011 Spokesman Steve McCausland says DNA tests performed at a
laboratory in Pennsylvania confirmed the identity of Kitty
Wardwell's body. The state medical examiner's office determined
that Wardwell's death was a homicide, but the cause of her death
was being withheld.
Wardwell's family was alerted Friday morning.
The storage unit was rented by Wardwell's former boyfriend Frank
Julian, who died Oct. 1 at age 80. Wardwell had been missing for 28
years.
Julian told investigators he last saw 29-year-old Wardwell after
an argument in 1983, when he left her at a motel in Salem, N.H.
