The victim was discovered decomposed, inside a refrigerator, in an irrigation ditch along Bacon Island Road, in the Delta area west of Stockton. Individuals who had been scooping the area for coins, cans, and other metal objects when they found the refrigerator that had been tied shut with rope and dumped into the levee. They cut through the rope, opened the fridge, and dug through a patched faux fur waterbed quilt and a Hillary brand sleeping bag before reaching a woman's remains.
Detectives say that the items found inside of the refrigerator lead them to believe that the fridge had resided in the East Bay. They came to this conclusion because the items that they found all had ties to that area. Some of the cities associated were; Richmond, Antioch, Pittsburgh, Oakley, and Brentwood. The electrician's tape used to tie up the victim had been purchased at the military surplus store in Oakley. There was an unopened bag of Ice from the Glacier Ice Co. which is produced in Freemont and shipped only to the East Bay. There were miniature milk cartons in the icebox that are used mainly in hospitals, schools, or institutions.
Based on the contents, police say the refrigerator was likely to have originated between the Highways 680, 580, 4, and Interstate 5.
Hundreds of leads have been followed-up with no success.
