The head of the woman previously known only as Ina Jane Doe was found by two girls on Jan. 27, 1993. Now, after nearly three decades, investigators have figured out her identity.

A new forensic sketch of the woman was released and samples taken from the woman’s remains were used to create a DNA profile of her. That profile was sent to the forensic genealogy team.One of Lund’s siblings provided a DNA sample for comparison. On March 6 it confirmed the woman was Sudan Lund, the release said.

Her family, including her three children who were 6, 4 and 2 at the time of her disappearance, have received some peace, one of Lund’s sisters, Pamela Reyes, said. "I’m just speaking on behalf of her three children," Reyes said. "They just really want people to know that they’re grateful to find out that they weren’t abandoned by their mother."Investigators are asking anyone with information about what happened to reach out to the sheriff’s office.
