Skull found in 2013 identified as remains of Bay Area woman over a decade later

In 2013, a Redding cleanup crew discovered a human skull in a patch of blackberry bushes along an irrigation canal. Despite a rigorous investigation, the remains were left unidentified for over a decade - until last month, when a laboratory identified the skull as that of a Bay Area woman whose family hadn't heard from her in years. The skull was found by workers in March 2013 near the Anderson-Cottonwood Irrigation District canal, according to a statement posted by the Shasta County Sheriff's Office on social media Friday.
