On January 3, 2016, the body of an unresponsive woman was discovered on a sidewalk in Los Angeles, California. The authorities identified her as Anna Sanchez-Ramiz. Found in an area known for a significant homeless population, it appeared that Anna had been living without stable housing at the time of her death. For years, she remained unidentified and her case was recorded under Namus ID: UCP110970 by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner.
The investigation into Anna's identity was extensive, as authorities worked tirelessly to uncover any information that might lead them to determine who she was. Despite the challenges faced in cases involving individuals without housing, the medical examiner's office persisted in their efforts. It wasn't until November 1, 2023, nearly seven years later, that they were able to finally put a name to the face and identify her as Anna Sanchez-Ramiz, providing a necessary closure to her case.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's office, located at 1104 North Mission Road, Los Angeles, California, played a pivotal role in this case.
