DNA analysis reveals the victim was Amanda Lynn Schumann Deza, a troubled Californian woman who was murdered decades ago but never reported missing.
In a press conference, San Joaquin Sheriff Patrick Withrow described the murder as one of those cases"that just stays with you." He said the cold case team have continued to pursue justice for the unknown woman and said he felt pleased to"give her her name back; her name is Amanda."
He appealed for anyone with information about Deza's murder to come forward — but also urged those who had any knowledge about Deza's life, her relationships, and friendships, to contact police."Let us judge whether it's important or not important," he said.Deza had previously lived in various places across California, including Napa, Oakley and Delta.
