Summary

On November 2, 2001, the remains of a woman estimated to be in her 20s were found in a shallow grave in a remote area near Highway 247 and Bessemer Mine Road in Lucerne Valley, California. Investigators determined she had been beaten to death. She was about 5 feet tall and 100 pounds, wearing a white sleeveless T-shirt and jean shorts, with a gold heart-pendant waist chain, a silver GV II wristwatch, and acrylic nails painted with red and yellow flames.
