Authorities have publicly identified a woman found dead in a brushy area alongside a Santee waterway during last month’s severe storm and flooding.
The nude body of Faith Angle, 46, was discovered next to Forester Creek on the afternoon of Jan. 22.
She was 5 feet, 5 inches tall; weighed about 230 pounds; had brown eyes, long brown hair and a tattoo on her right leg of hearts and a dolphin with wings on it; and she was wearing a bracelet engraved with “Mama B” inscribed on one side and “4/21/2006” on the other.
A recent tip from the public allowed the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office to identify her remains.
Angle was believed to be unhoused at the time of her death, which is believed to have been related to the inclement weather. A ruling on exactly how Angle died remains on hold pending further investigation, county officials said.
