context_page_description: Unidentified decedents are a group of people who have died but officials were unable to discover who they were when they were alive. Several victims are not identified for several years or even decades after their deaths, one case being that of Barbara Precht, who died in 2006 and was identified in 2014. Around 40,000 decedents still remain unidentified in the United States.
context_section_description: A white or Hispanic woman's remains were discovered near Corcoran, Kings County, California on May 13, 2015. She had died about six weeks to a year before. The remains were concealed in a tarp and no cause of death could be determined. She was at least 45 years old, but most likely over the age of 60. She was between 5'0 and 5'6" tall but would have a hunched appearance due to osteoporosis. She is estimated to have weighed between 100 and 160 pounds. Her hair was either gray or a graying blond color. She wore a striped tee-shirt (sold at Walmart), black yoga pants and Depends underwear. She had no teeth and wore no dentures, although it appeared she had been prepared for them.
  It is theorized the woman died due to natural causes and her body was concealed so relatives would continue to receive benefits preceding her death.
  The DNA Doe Project is currently processing her DNA to locate potential relatives.
