The biggest clue investigators hope will help solve the murder: a tattoo on the lower back of the victim.
The woman's body was found around 5:15 Sunday morning in the woods of /*James Baird State Park*/.
A motorist driving by saw something burning and called 911 to report a brush fire, but it wasn't.
With the help of the medical examiner police describe the victim as a light-skinned black or Hispanic woman in her late teens to early 20's.
She was 5 feet 9 inches tall and 150 pounds.
She was wearing blue jeans, black flat shoes with beads on them and a green shirt.
Though the suspect's intention was to burn the body beyond recognition, the tattoo remained visible enough for investigators to release a picture.
Police say without positive identification, they don't have much to go on.
Though Baird State Park is a sprawling 490 acres, police say the suspect acted hastily dumping the body on the main access road less than a mile from the /*Taconic State Parkway*/.
Witnesses have described seeing a silver, four door sedan, possibly a Japanese make, in the area around the time of the discovery.
