The remains of a Manchester, New Hampshire woman who was missing since 1984 have been identified, according to Attorney General Gordon J. MacDonald.
In a release from MacDonald's office, authorities announced the remains of Elizabeth "Liz" Lamotte, who was last seen when she was 17 years old in November of 1984, were identified.
Lamotte left the Youth Development Center on November 22, 1984 on a furlough to Gill Stadium and never went back.
Lamotte was not reported as a missing person to Manchester Police until 2017, after a tip following a press conference regarding information about murder suspect Bob Evans and his wife, Elizabeth Evans.
Her case was discharged from the center on her 18th birthday in July of 1985, although she hadn't returned to the center.
The two were living in Manchester in the early 1980s, and the public was asked to help identify Evans.
One tip said Lamotte had been missing from the area in the same time frame, and the tipster thought Lamotte could be Elizabeth Evans.
Manchester Police confirmed with Youth Development Center employees, family members and friends that Lamotte had been missing since her furlough in 1984, and put in her information as a missing person in the National Crime Information Center.

Two of Lamotte's brothers provided DNA samples, and the University of North Texas Center for Human Identification told Manchester Police Tuesday that they had matched their DNA to the remains of a woman found murdered in Tennessee in 1985.
A Tennessee Bureau of Investigations employee said the body was found dead in Greenville, Tennessee on April 14, 1985, and had no identification on or near her when she was found.
Her cause of death was determined to be blunt force trauma to the head in a homicide, and an autopsy showed she had likely been dead for two-to-three weeks before she was discovered.
