The body of a woman found on East End Beach in Portland more than a decade ago has finally been identified, the Maine Office of Chief Medical Examiner announced Tuesday.

The woman has been identified as 66-year-old Byung Ran Kim, whose last known address was in New York.

A Tuesday news release said the medical examiner’s office tried repeatedly over the years to identify Kim, who was found on the Portland beach in 2015. The breakthrough finally came through the help of the DNA Doe Project, a nonprofit that seeks to identify unidentified deceased persons through forensic genealogy.

The organization found that the woman was likely South Korean, and worked to investigate possible relatives, but still struggled to produce an identity.

Authorities were finally able to make the ID last month.

The medical examiner’s statement credited Portland Police Detective Andjelko Napijalo for contacting South Korean authorities, who were able to compare the woman’s fingerprints to local records.

Kim was then identified and her family in South Korea was notified, the statement said. Her death was not considered suspicious.
