DNA helps identify woman whose body was found at bottom of Bay Area cliff nearly 60 years ago
Briefly

DNA analysis led to the identification of a woman found at the base of a cliff 60 years ago in the Bay Area. The woman, originally a Jane Doe, was found to be Lillian Marie Cardenas through genetic analysis by Othram Inc. The investigation exposed Cardenas' estrangement from her family and her last residence in San Francisco.
Efforts to identify the woman upon her initial discovery were fruitless, leading to her burial as Jane Doe. It was only through advancements in technology and the collaboration of forensic experts like Mark Griffin from San Francisco State University that her true identity as Lillian Marie Cardenas was unveiled.
