Investigators say a tattoo located on the victim's left upper back shows a rose and the words "R.I.P. Jazzy 5-11-08." According to detectives, she was also wearing a gold necklace and an ace bandage on her right arm.

I zoomed in and I really think that is Jassy because there is a curve at the bottom right of the lower case A. The 2 S’s do not look like Z’s to me. They could have pronounced it Jazzy tho.

Not badly decomposed, appears to be a black woman but ethnicity remains unknown.
:confused:

I was hoping she'd be in NamUs by now. Philly MedEx is usually pretty good at adding cases but, as right now, she has not been entered. (unless she has but it hasn't been made publicly viewable yet).

I'm assuming that means she could be Hispanic.
 
This is probably more weird than useful, but--googling on the tattoo and variations on the name took me to a Jasmyne who died in 2007 in a car accident. There's a lot of grief on her page on legacy. com as you would expect. And then somebody posted this:

May 11, 2008
happy mothers day to all the mothers


The other posts are all personal. This kind of stuck out but I can't imagine why somebody who wanted to remember her would use that date for her instead of a birth or death date. It just struck me pretty weird.
 
The Chicano letter S looks a lot like the one in the tattoo, So it could also be Sassy IMO. This is a woman with a tattoo "sassy" on her back, but she also has an unknown one on her chest. I presume the remains were not that badly decomposed that a chest tattoo couldn't be found. The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)
