In 1998, the remains of a white female were recovered by the Muskegon Police Department. The skull at the murder scene was eventually forensically examined and determined to be that of a white female in her late 30's. Detective Emilio Trejo was the investigating officer from the Muskegon Police Department. Detective Trejo had heard about the Michigan State Police Forensic Art Program and contacted Tpr. Fernando Martinez, forensic artist assigned to the Michigan State Police Lansing Post.

Tpr. Fernando Martinez took the skull and rendered a two dimensional facial reconstruction of the "Jane Doe". This drawing was disseminated in the Muskegon area. Parole officer, David Pierce, for the Adult Probation/Parole Office in Muskegon saw the composite sketch and recognized her as a current absconder from his facility. Parole officer Pierce knew Currie was missing her front two maxillary teeth. He contacted Detective Trejo and identified her as Wendy Currie, white female, birth date 01-20-60. Wendy had failed to report for her court ordered weekly meetings. A "D.N.A." analysis positively identified the human remains as being Wendy Currie.

This on-going homicide investigation began looking in Currie's ex-boyfriend's direction and a murder warrant was authorized in 2003 for Michael Anderson.

On September 26, 2003 - Michael Lynn Anderson, black male, birth date 09-10-1963, was arrested for the murder of Wendy Currie. He is currently in the Muskegon County Jail awaiting trial.
