Public’s help needed to identify female body found in Gorman

by City News Service • August 18, 2016

Female body found Gorman

GORMAN – Authorities on Thursday released drawings of the face and tattoos of a woman whose body was found near state Route 138 in the unincorporated Gorman area in hopes of identifying her.

Female body found Gorman. 1jpgA motorist spotted the woman around 5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 14, in some brush in a remote area along Gorman Post Road, north of state Route 138.

“Homicide detectives have learned that a passing motorist saw the victim lying in the brush after making a momentary rest stop during a long drive,” said Deputy Juanita Navarro-Suarez of the Sheriff’s Information Bureau. “The victim … appeared to be unconscious, prompting the motorist to call 911.”

Responding deputies and firefighters “discovered that the victim had suffered trauma to her head,” and she was pronounced dead at the scene, Navarro-Suarez said.

Female body found Gorman. 2jpgAn autopsy was pending.

At a news conference Thursday, detectives displayed a drawing of the woman’s face, along with drawings of her tattoos, which included a Playboy rabbit head, a cross, flowers, and the words Brayden and Rylee.

She was described as white or Hispanic, 25 to 35 years old, 5 feet 1 inch tall and 96 pounds. She had blue eyes, and her hair was dyed a dark burgundy color.

Anyone with information is urged to call the Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500. Anonymous tips can be submitted through Crime Stoppers by calling 800-222-TIPS or at the website lacrimestoppers.org.

      Wow! How the heck could you just run that judgment on someone who is deceased! You have no clue who this person is and you can call her a white trash girl?? She may have a few tatts but how do you know her exact lifestyle? She may have been in bad situation in her life bit whos to say that this wasnt a hard workin loving mother and daughter? ? We dont know!! So just keep sitting behind yoyr computer and passing judgment on others while your perfect life goes on.

    There is a woman who I have seen hanging around Littlerock by the liquor store for the last couple of years. She looks a lot like this person and hangs out with some down on their luck types…I see her wandering up and down Pear Blossom hwy…

    Oh my gosh! Who is that? She looks familiar to me too. Its so sad. Id venture to say those are the names of her children. What is this world coming to? I mean I do understand that people tend to put themselves in situations where they are vulnerable to these kind of things but geez. Its outta controle these days. Taking mothers from their children is so so awful. I pray for her family and that they find whoever did this and I pray for their family aswell..

      If you are talking about the woman from Littlerock, She doesn’t look anything like this…

      Plus the ratios don’t match the missing little Rock woman description, and definitely doesn’t look like her…

    Check with the cashiers and staff at the truck stops in Castaic. Several years ago there was a high profile case of a truck driver who raped and assaulted a hooker in Castaic before attempting to kidnap her. Serial killers have been known to take on the truck driving profession in order to get easier access to prey. Wouldn’t surprise me a bit if that wasn’t the case.

    I think i saw this woman at the lancaster welfare office… Ive seen these tattos somewhere and its bugging me now. If that playboy bunny was in center back ive seen her. I cant be 100%. But its really getting under my skin because i knowbive seen those 2 names… I pray someone comes foward. Sad if her family hasnt reported her missing….
