On February 5, 1975, a partial skeleton belonging to a young white female was discovered in a park in nearby Strongsville. The young woman had been killed by a gunshot to the head. However, the case was never connected to Pagano's disappearance. Due to a clerical error, the skeleton was not added to NamUs or other databases until 2016, when the case was rediscovered by an amateur genealogist. In 2018, forensic DNA analysis confirmed the remains as belonging to Pagano. Her stepfather, the only potential suspect, died in 1990.
