HOWELL, MI –

A Livingston County cold case team has released sketches of three new suspects in the 1990 disappearance of an Okemos woman. WKAR's Mark Bashore has this report.

One team member says media reports about the detectives' use of a ground imaging device this past summer yielded new tips. Spokesman Mike Frayer says one came from a retired Michigan State Police trooper.

"He had spent 25 years in the business, he was a trained observer, knew how to do a description, so yeah, we at look it pretty ..give it quite a bit of credibility," he says.

Paige Renkoski was last seen talking to a man standing between her car and a minivan alongside I-96 near Fowlerville in May of 1990. Authorities have ruled the case a homicide even though the woman's body has not been found.
