In the early stages of the investigation, the Alameda Police Department worked in collaboration with the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office Coroner’s Bureau to initiate a death investigation, with the coroner's bureau later determining that the remains belonged to an unidentified female aged between 25 and 40. However, information surrounding the circumstances of this woman's death remain scarce, and with the identity of the deceased still unknown, it is difficult at this stage for either authority to release further details about the case.

Authorities have also appealed to the public, seeking any information that may help determine the woman's identity or shed light on the circumstances that led to her demise, with Alameda residents urged to call 510-337-8340 if they possess any relevant data.
