Circumstances
A man walking around with a human skull in a city neighborhood led to police discovering a woman's bones on a hillside and sparking an investigation into how she died.

The man was arrested on charges unrelated to the woman's death, and when he got out of jail, he guided Brisbane officers to a hillside where he had found the skull. Additional bones were found at that location.

Neither homicide, natural causes nor suicide have been ruled out as possible reasons for the unidentified woman's death

  • Her age (40) is within range (33-46)
  • Her Loc LKA (Brisbane) is about 185 miles north of where the remains were located.
  • Her height (5'9"-5'10") is at the upper end of the height estimate ('5'1" to 5'9")
  • She was last seen a week before Christmas 2004 - Consistent with the Christmas theme TShirt.
  • She had a recent car accident, which might explain the prior injuries. (However, the accident may have been too recent, as the UID's injuries were described as "old")
  • Not a bad resemblance to the facial reconstruction

Both the MP and UID indicate "Sample Submitted - Tests Complete". So there probably would have been a DNA hit if this was a match.
 
LaMadrid also has a really strong resemblance to Tent Jane Doe, but again that should have been a DNA hit.

I'd think the combination of the secondary ridge over the eyebrow and crook of the nose would be pretty unique.
 
Okay... what a creepy case. This dude was carrying around a skull because it "called out his name"??? I hope they searched his home and car... (if he had one) So does that mean he was convicted of the crime? Seems weird

It sounds more like he was a crazy homeless dude or something and they just wanted him locked up for a while. Other charges usually means there was a warrant out for him on something that happened earlier.
 
[h=1]Piecing together missing persons reports[/h] [h=2]Coroner invites family members to bolster DNA database[/h]
In an effort to piece together the puzzling aspects of missing persons reports, San Mateo County officials are asking the family members to step forward with genetic and other identifying information that could play a critical role in solving the mysteries that surround their loved ones.
Brisbane Police Department spokeswoman Michelle Moneda said the department is hoping the effort will bring them closer to understanding of how female skeletal remains found wrapped in a comforter and partially buried on a Brisbane mountainside got there. Discovered in 2013, examination of the bones and clothing found at the scene shed some light on who this Jane Doe was — between 33 and 46 years old, between 5 feet 1 inch and 5 feet 9 inches in height, with European ancestry and deceased between 2001 and 2008. Outside of the brand of clothing found with the remains and a healed bone injury from what investigators believe could have been sustained in a traffic accident, little else is known about the woman, said Moneda.
