BOSTON -- The Norfolk County District Attorney's office has received tips from the public about the identity of a body found smoldering in the Blue Hills Reservation in Quincy on Saturday.

NewsCenter 5's Kelley Tuthill reported Wednesday that investigators are now sorting through a number of potential leads, and officials are hoping the victim's rings may help identify the person.

The body was so severely burned that the medical examiner has not yet been able to definitively determine gender, but officials said the remaining hair and the design of the three rings found on the victim may indicate the person is a woman.

A pear-shaped diamond solitaire was on the victim's ring finger of their left hand, and a 10-karat gold band with several small stones, possibly a wedding band, was found on the pinky finger of that hand.

The third ring found had three round stones in heart-shaped settings -- a ruby, an emerald in the center and a pink tourmaline -- and is often called a "Mother's Ring."

"We are at a stage where we clearly need help from the public," Keating said.

The medical examiner has also not yet ruled on a cause or manner of death, but police said that accelerant was used to burn the body, officials said.

The victim, possibly between ages 45 and 55 and about 5 feet tall, was found at 3:45 p.m. in the Quincy section of the reservation by a hiker who called police.

"The person had a set of upper dentures in place, and had a surgically implanted pin in the heel of their left foot," Norfolk County District Attorney William Keating said.

Anyone with information was asked to call Massachusetts State Police at 508-820-2121.
