Woman found dead near Cady Way Trail identified
Interesting to note:
The Sheriff’s Office identified the woman as Felicita Anguiano. Records show her name was Nadal prior to a 2009 marriage, which ended in divorce in 2018. A divorce petition filed by her then-husband indicated she requested to be known by her former name.

The body that was found in woods near the Cady Way Trail this month was that of 37-year-old Felicita Nadal, the District Nine Medical Examiner’s Office said Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office released its incident report from the day Nadal's remains were found, which said that her body was discovered by a 29-year-old man who had been walking in the woods near the trail April 7.
Still unclear: the cause of the woman’s death, which the medical examiner’s office described Tuesday as “pending.”
According to the report, deputies responded to the trail just before 2 p.m. By the time they arrived, Orange County Fire Rescue personnel had already pronounced Nadal dead. The body, which “had signs of severe decomposition,” was lying among bushes about 100 feet into the woods south of the trail, west of Metric Drive.
A portion of the narrative was redacted from the report, but the remaining text indicated that the man who found the body was “walking around in the woods” when he found it, then “got scared, grabbed his belongings, and left the wooded area.”
He walked west on the trail to a bench near Forsyth Road where he waited to meet with deputies, the report said.
