The woman is believed to have been between 20 and 40 years old at the time of her death. She was approximately 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighed around 140 pounds, and had brown or black shoulder-length hair.
Advanced forensic analysis indicates that her ancestral origins are primarily linked to eastern Guatemala, with possible connections to neighboring regions of El Salvador and Honduras. Regions of particular interest include the Guatemalan areas of Esquipulas, Chiquimula, Zacapa, and Jutiapa, as well as Copán, Honduras, and potentially Metapán in Santa Ana, El Salvador.
Surnames that may be relevant to her family history include: Urrutia, Sagastume, Santizo, Turcios, Carabantes, Perdomo, Osorio, Folgar, Aguirre, Morales, Polanco, Calderón, Castellón, and Peraza.
Moxxy Forensic Investigations encourages anyone who may have a missing loved one matching this description, or who recognizes these details, to come forward.
Individuals who have participated in consumer DNA testing are also encouraged to upload their DNA data to GEDmatch, a free public database used to assist in forensic identification. Step-by-step instructions are available on the Moxxy Forensic Investigations website under the Support tab by selecting Upload Your DNA.
Your information could be critical in restoring this woman’s identity and bringing long-awaited answers to her family.
