Antioch Police Seek Help Identifying Homicide Victim Found on Mokelumne Trail
The Antioch Police Department is seeking the public’s assistance to identify the female victim who was located on October 18, 2022 on the Mokelumne Trail in the City of Antioch.
According to police, the female victim located on the Mokelumne Trail between Gentrytown Drive and Lucena Way. Unfortunately, due to the severity of her sustained burns, we are having difficulty
identifying her.
The victim is believed to be of African American descent and is thought to be under 30 years old. Additionally, the victim is approximately 5’6″, and her weight is unknown. At the time of her discovery, she was wearing a ring on her right ring finger, as depicted in the attached photos, and a metal necklace with a pendant with the letter “K” attached.
While the “K” was the only letter connected to the chain, it is possible there were previously more letters.
Moreover, the victim had extensive dental work done in the past, including three missing left lower molars and a distinctive gap between her top front middle teeth. After the autopsy, investigators learned that the victim was deceased before being discovered by Con Fire.
