Sacramento Police Identify 1991 Homicide Victim Sheila Osborne

Authorities have identified Sheila Osborne as the victim whose skeletal remains were discovered in a Sacramento field in 1991, ending a decades-long cold case. Osborne, who had recently moved to Sacramento from Johnson City, Tennessee, was 40 at the time of her death. Despite a DNA profile being developed in 2008 and entered into national databases, her identity remained unknown until advanced DNA testing and investigative genealogy were applied years later. The case remains an unsolved homicide, with police continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding her death and urging anyone with information to come forward.
