Remains of Capitola resident found by hunters. Had been shot in the head. Shonna Le Mayes, a 23-year-old woman, was tragically murdered on May 6, 1987, in Etna, California. Her death remains part of a cold case, with limited public information about the exact circumstances surrounding the homicide. Shonna was buried at Sacajawea Cemetery in Siskiyou County, and her case, like many others from that time, has not yet been fully solved.
