Manchini was reported missing by her mother two years before the remains were found. Police said she spent the last years of her life living in Gwinnett County but was originally from Pennsylvania.
The remains were found in July 2016 along the highway in Buford. The victim was wearing a Miley Cyrus hoodie and Victoria's Secret Pink sweatpants at the time the remains were found.
