PS: she clearly liked horses, poor soul. So many different identifying tattoos, yet I can't find any mention of her in any newspapers so far, neither any appeals to identify her. She is not mentioned on CA Uids mainstream websites and probably no sketch was done of her yet either.

I use to work with drug users and track marks on both arms are interesting to me. Did they do a tox test?

Sounds to me she was either ambidextrous or accustomed to having friends inject for her some of the time?

I cannot find anything regarding tox screens on this UID, maybe they assumed she was an overdose casualty and didn't bother.

I wish they'd release PM pictures, or at least a reconstruction. Hard to go on nothing but tattoo descriptions.

She has very distinctive tattoos.
