California woman found partially buried in desert decades ago identified by DNA

A woman found partially buried in the Southern California desert nearly three decades ago has been identified through a DNA sample, authorities said Monday.
At the time of her discovery, investigators with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department were unable to ID Cavallaro, the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office said. An autopsy determined that she died from homicidal violence.
"Because authorities were unable at the time to identify the victim and due to a lack of leads into what may have happened, this became a cold case," the DA's office said in a statement.
