Authorities are asking the public for help to identify a woman who was found dead in the brush on the southern border of Forester Creek in Santee.
The woman was found unresponsive next to the creek on the afternoon of Jan. 22, according to San Diego County officials. It is unclear whether her death had to do with heavy rains and flooding that day.
She was 5 feet, 5 inches tall; weighed about 230 pounds; had brown eyes, long brown hair and a tattoo on her right leg of hearts and a dolphin with wings on it; and she was wearing a bracelet engraved with “Mama B” inscribed on one side and “4/21/2006” on the other. She appeared to be about 45 to 55 years old at the time of her death.
Investigators have had a forensic sketch of the woman created in hopes that someone who knew her will see it and come forward.
Anyone who might be able to help identify her is asked to call the county Medical Examiner’s Office at (858) 694-2905 and reference case No. 2024- 00240.
