A WOMAN'S body found in a North stream continues to baffle police.

An e-fit of the woman has been issued, along with pictures of her clothes.

The body was found near Horton-in-Ribblesdale, just off the Pennine Way, in the Yorkshire Dales, nearly a fortnight ago.

Police have still not identified the woman or found out how she died.

Chief Inspector Tad Nowakowski, from North Yorkshire Police, said: "A team of officers is now dedicated to this investigation, a measure of the importance we place on establishing the identity of this unfortunate young woman."

The woman, who was aged 16 to 32, was 4ft 11in and weighed 50 to 60kg. She had brown eyes and brown hair, cut just below shoulder length.

She wore beige trousers and a V-necked T-shirt with narrow horizontal hoops.

She wore a gold band on her wedding finger and was possibly of oriental origin.

Police are still waiting for the results of forensic tests, which it is hoped will give them the cause of death.

Anyone who can help identify the woman is asked to call (01423) 539334.
