Michelle’s body was buried in the Harrison County Cemetery in Houston, Texas, where it stayed for 28 years. The body was exhumed in May, 2011 to obtain a DNA profile to compare to potential matches, including Michelle's brother, John Garvey Jr.. An amateur online detective, Polly Penwell, came across the cases of Michelle and her unidentified body and suggested to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Harris County medical examiner that they could be the same person after she compared both cases, while using a website known as Websleuths.
