The Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office on Monday released an image of a deceased woman’s tattoo in the hopes of identifying her body.
On Feb. 16, the woman was struck and killed by a train in Port Costa. She was pronounced dead at the scene and she had no identification on her.
Amtrak Police and the Coroner’s Division have worked to try and identify the Jane Doe but have been unable to do so.
The adult woman is white with brown hair and hazel eyes. She is 5 feet 4 inches tall and 171 pounds. She has a small broken heart tattoo on her inner left wrist. The Sheriff’s Office released a photo of the tattoo.
When she died she was wearing a black pullover top, black and gray plaid pants and red and white Nike athletic shoes.
Anyone who recognizes the tattoo or may know who the woman is should please contact the Coroner’s Division of the Sheriff’s Office at (925) 313-2850.
No estimate of her age?…that would help.
A broken heart tattoo. Hope she’s in a better place.
Oh, … this is sad.
They can’t identify her by her dental records or fingerprints? All they have to go on is a small tattoo of a heart that I’m sure a million women have. Good luck identifying her.
City_Guy,

If you can identify her, then maybe dental records can be used to confirm her identity, if she’d ever seen a dentist or if her dentist is known and has been contacted. The fact that she hasn’t been identified suggests that her fingerprints aren’t in the system. Can you be anymore rude and inappropriate?
casting a harsh light on reality. sorry but city Guy is correct here. sad
So easily offended! So be offended nobody cares. Nothing inappropriate was said above or rude stop grandstanding online.
not offended, nothing inappropriate, Maybe reading into this too much “don’t know where you come up with this assumption”. We have all the tech to determine who is who it is simply a matter of money that we don’t. Examples, 23 and me willfully giving up their identity, cell phone data (location), even homeless records. It is a shame that we seem to be at this point that we do not recognize people due to financial restrictions. City Guy is simply pointing out one or two methods.
No, we don’t have “all the tech to determine who is who”, and it has nothing to do with money. Cell phone data only works if she was carrying a cell phone. If she were homeless, that’s probably not going to be the case. And, homeless records are not all-inclusive, again assuming she was homeless. Running searches against systems like 23 and me are very expensive. They may use this at a later point, but why not try free methods first? It’s not always as easy as you believe. Unfortunately, people go unidentified all the time. And, the homeless often do not have family in their lives who realize they are missing.
Not everyone has their fingerprints on file, and dental records are only used to confirm identity. There is no database that houses everyone’s dental records. If the police are asking for help, you can bet they’ve already checked all available systems.
