Mystery of mom's 2009 death haunts W.Va. woman

ELKINS, W.Va. (AP) -

The last time Ashley Wyatt saw her mother alive was Nov. 8, 2009, in church. But more than three years later, she still doesn't know how Pamela Judy died.

The body of her 39-year-old mother was found four days later, burned along with her Chevrolet Colorado pickup near Little Black Fork in the Monongahela National Forest.

When they ran out of clues in 2010, Randolph County authorities turned all their evidence over to the FBI's Behavioral Science Lab in Quantico, Va.

But Wyatt tells The Inter-Mountain (http://bit.ly/SQiZrs) she and her family are still awaiting answers.

State Police Cpl. K.A. Corley says the investigation is continuing, but citizen input could be the best hope of cracking the case.

Without new information, he says a dormant case can be hard to revive.
