"On Aug. 13, 1998, the decomposed body of a female in her 30s was found in shrubbery in a ravine off the 1300 block of Avocado Avenue in El Cajon, a suburb of San Diego. The woman was found wearing a blue "Woodruff Warriors 20-year reunion 1971-1991" T-shirt, black shoes, white socks, and a silver herringbone bracelet. She was described as a 5-foot-2-inch white or Hispanic female weighing 110 pounds. The case was determined to be a homicide, but efforts to identify her were unsuccessful."
"In May 2022, DNA genealogy analysis by Othram labs linked the Jane Doe's ancestry to potential family ties in San Diego and Michoacan de Ocampo in Mexico. After the El Cajon Police Department posted her story on social media asking the public for assistance, a potential family member came forward who believed she knew the woman's identity. "A DNA test with the decedent's son confirmed a familial match, providing identification 27 years later," the police department said in a statement."
On Aug. 13, 1998 a decomposed female in her 30s was found in shrubbery in a ravine off Avocado Avenue in El Cajon, California. The woman wore a blue "Woodruff Warriors 20-year reunion 1971-1991" T-shirt, black shoes, white socks, and a silver herringbone bracelet. She was described as a 5-foot-2 white or Hispanic female weighing 110 pounds and the death was ruled a homicide. Forensic facial reconstruction in 2003 and a CODIS DNA entry in 2008 failed to identify her. In May 2022 DNA genealogy by Othram linked possible family ties; a family member came forward and a DNA test with the decedent's son confirmed identification as Alicia Ledezma Sanchez, born May 13, 1968.
