FILE: A view of Highway 138 in Southern California. 

On the morning of Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2025, San Bernardino County authorities made a gruesome discovery: 75 feet down an embankment, along Highway 138 and Crestline Road, lay a deceased woman wearing a blue sweatshirt, blue pants and white tennis shoes. After retrieving her body from the side of the mountain, an autopsy revealed that her injuries were consistent with a fall. In January of this year, however, the department announced that her death was a homicide. Aside from the fact that she was white and estimated to be between the ages of 25 and 35, local officials had little information about her and requested assistance from the public.  

Now, after an extensive investigation, authorities have developed a new lead, a recent news release from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department says.
