FORT LAUDERDALE (AP) – A woman found slain a quarter century ago in Florida has been identified after relatives read about her case on a sheriff’s web site for unidentified victims.

Officials in the Broward Sheriff’s Office said Monday that the brother and sisters of Mary Ann Lambert led them to a positive identification of the woman’s remains through the “Found and Forgotten” program. Lambert’s body was found in a field in Pompano Beach in September 1983. She was 21 and police won’t say how she died.
