Case History
The victim was recovered from a shallow grave off Interstate 5 in Castaic, California, approximately 19 miles south of Gorman. It's possible she had been shot.
The body had been there for months, and scavenging animals had torn it apart. Not even a skull was left.
It doesn't appear the victim was from the Santa Clarita Valley. She could have been a hitchhiker who was drawn to the Hollywood scene but ended up at a remote freeway truckstop.
