North Tahoe body treated as suspicious



Placer County investigators are trying to discover the identity of a woman whose body was found this week at North Lake Tahoe.

They are treating the case as a suspicious death with a full investigation, sheriff's reports said.

An autopsy performed this week revealed the woman was between 5-feet-10-inches and 6 feet tall and had dark hair falling just below her shoulders.

The woman was wearing Tahari blue jeans and gold hoop earrings, said sheriff's reports. She also suffered from scoliosis, a curvature of the spine.

A pedestrian discovered her body around 5 p.m. Monday in the field near National Avenue and Highway 28 in Tahoe Vista, said Placer Lt. John Savage.

"There was an odor, so they went to see and saw that it was a body and they called immediately," Savage said.

Anyone with information about a missing person who matches this description is asked contact Detective Michelle Baxter at 581-6323.
