MIDDLETOWN, N.Y. (AP) -- State police say a skeleton found in Pennsylvania is that of a New York woman who disappeared after leaving a Manhattan nightclub in 2008.
A DNA analysis at a state lab in Albany, N.Y., confirmed the identity of Laura Garza of Brooklyn.
Capt. Wayne Olson says a youngster with a group of all-terrain vehicle riders found her remains on April 11 in Mount Cobb, Pa., several miles outside Scranton.
The man she left the bar with on Dec. 3, 2008 was a sex offender. He has been investigated but not charged in the case.
Garza had moved to New York from McAllen, Texas.
