NamUs #UP60245 - Body found near McFarland in an orange orchard

By: Shane Lambert

NamUs #UP60245 notes:
  • Adult pre-50 years old
  • Height 4'11" to 5'1"
  • Female
  • Hispanic/latino
  • Body found: June 10th, 1988 (decomposed)
  • Brown hair
  • Found in an orange grove in rural McFarland, California
  • Clothing description at NamUs
The following article appears to be related to the case. It's strange in that it actually names a murder victim who was found in an orange orchard near McFarland on the same date as NamUs #UP60245. Coincidence? Related news? I thought it was worth posting. 

At first glance, the newspaper article below and the NamUs description for #UP60245 appear to be of one and the same person based on the dates matching and the orange-grove location. That forces one to ask why #UP60245 is considered unidentified. Could be that these are not one and the same person or that the original identification was wrong?
