Santa Clarita / Antelope Valley : Help Sought to Identify Body

The Los Angeles County coroner’s office is looking for help from the public to identify the body of a woman with two tattoos found last month in a field between Sierra Highway and 10th Street East, south of Avenue R, authorities said.

Her body was discovered June 22 by a young boy riding his bicycle, authorities said.

“Since then, she has simply been known as Jane Doe No. 30,” said Scott Carrier, a coroner’s office spokesman.

Medical examiners believe the woman stood about 5 feet tall, weighed about 95 pounds and had brown hair and brown eyes. She had two tattoos--one of a rose or bunch of roses about 1 1/2 inches in length on the inside of the left ankle, the other of a peacock with a vulture-like head and flowing tail feathers just above her right shoulder blade, Carrier said.

When she died, the woman was wearing black underwear, a multicolored halter top, blue jeans and tan and gold sandals that laced around her ankles.

The coroner’s office has been unable to identify the woman because the body was decomposed, Carrier said. The cause of death has not been undetermined.
