Navajo Woman Missing Since 1987 Identified as Homicide Victim in California

Human remains found in California in 1987 and marked as "Jane Doe" have been identified as Christine Lester, a Navajo woman who went missing from northern Arizona. Lester's family received an "explicit" letter written to her from an anonymous person years after she vanished. The cause of Lester's death has not been disclosed to avoid jeopardizing the investigation. Her siblings plan to escort the remains to a family gravesite on the Navajo Nation, where a memorial service will be held. The Madera County Sheriff's Office is asking anyone with information on Lester's homicide to call them.
