Skeleton Identified as Woman Missing 2 Years
Skeletal remains found by a transient in the Santa Monica Mountains in Studio City have been identified as those of a West Los Angeles woman who disappeared almost two years ago.
The woman, Lisa Ann Mather, 18, was reported missing Jan. 15, 1985, by her mother, Los Angeles police Detective Howard Landgren said.
The unburied body was found in the brush about 9 a.m. Wednesday by 26-year-old Paul Yettaw, a Canadian seeking a place to camp in a wooded area north of Mulholland Drive and west of Coldwater Canyon Boulevard, police said.
