The bones of Christina G. Purdie, 27, of Kenilworth Place in Brooklyn, were discovered off the roadway near Vermont Place in Glendale Aug. 6.
Workers from the city Department of Transportation had discovered possible skeletal remains in a grassy area near the westbound Exit 1 near Highland Boulevard at around 10:30 that morning, police had reported.
