CA CA - Calaveras Co., UnsFem, 25-45, under New Melones bridge, tow chain, Oct'15

It was on Oct. 9, 2015 when the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Department recovered the badly decomposed body from the mud underneath the old Parrotts Ferry bridge at New Melones Reservoir, after local reports that receding water levels uncovered what looked to be a corpse.

Other findings show that the deceased woman is thought to have been between the ages of 25 and 45 and possibly ranging somewhere from 4’9″ to 5’4″ in height. Her remains, which consisted of a pelvic girdle and upper legs, were found wrapped in a covering and encircled by what appeared to be a tow-like chain with a hook at the end of it. There appeared to be normal separation of the bones, due to decomposition and no cuts or other marks telegraphing sustained injuries.

However, due to the decomposing effects of fresh water, the report stated the woman had been submerged for an indeterminate period; anywhere from 18 months to much longer...

The chain, which certainly points to suspicious circumstances, is not dissimilar to the modus operandi used by members of the Russian mafia who, several years ago, dumped several bodies of victims from southern California into Melones.
