KINGMAN, Ariz. - The body of a teenager discovered near an Arizona highway has been buried without the discovery of her identity despite an extensive investigation.

The Kingman Daily Miner reported the girl was laid to rest Thursday.

Hikers found the girl's body near Highway 93 north of Dolan Springs in September 2016.

The Mohave County Sheriff's Office and Mohave County Medical Examiner's Office conducted the investigation to identify the girl, whose cause of death was not determined.

Sutton Memorial Funeral Home donated the casket and Mountain View Cemetery in Kingman plans to provide a headstone.
