LEBANON, Mo. — Investigators are asking for the public's help to identify the woman whose remains were discovered encased in concrete and stuffed in a toolbox.

A hunting party discovered the container on Nov. 15 in a wooded area of Laclede County in southern Missouri. A coroner estimated the woman had been dead for about 10 days.
