Almost 2 years Unidentified, Who is Carlsbad Jane Doe 2024?

This is a repost on the first Jane Doe post I made in this sub.

On August 12, 2024, at approximately 7:30pm, a report came in about an unidentified Jane Doe laying down by the train tracks near Carlsbad Boulevard bridge. She had been spotted by a Coaster Commuter Train Engineer who was traveling northbound. Paramedics were dispatched to the location but were unable to resuscitate the Jane Doe and she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Jane Doe is estimated to be between the ages of 50-60yrs old, White, around 111lbs, and an estimated height of 5’3”. She had long curly brown hair (Namus lists it as straight), brown eyes, and numerous tattoos. Only a black bra from the brand “Simone Perele”, and a multicolored “Josie Natori” shirt were found on the body.

On my previous post, many people tried to decipher the tattoos. Namus has some of them listed correctly- like her fish tattoo but they list the silhouette of a woman’s body as “curved lines”. Nonetheless, the Jane Doe’s tattoos are very interesting and I had hoped they’d be recognized by now.

Some things to note: -Unidentified Wiki has her death listed as a suicide. I’ve only seen it stated there that this may be a suicide. -identification by fingerprints has been unsuccessful.

UPDATES SINCE LAST POSTING:
Jane Doe now has exclusions listed, these are the exclusions:

Río Grande John Doe (2026)

On February 2nd, 2026, The charred remains of a man were found at the sight of the former Lola Millián school, in Río Grande, Puerto Rico.

Police and local fire department were called to the area of the abandoned building due to the sounds of 'detonations' to find the unknown man currently burning.

They put the fire out, and were also called to a separate and seemingly unrelated to this crime within the same city. The victim of that crime was identified, however the Río Grande John Doe still remains unidentified.

There's no reconstruction of his possible face nor any mention of his possible ethnic makeup/background is currently available, but there is drawings of his tattoos included on NamUs.

He has a tattoo on his left forearm of what seems to be a Crescent Moon and 'hahe' written underneath it. And on a tattoo of what seems to be scissors cutting something on what seems to be the front of his left hand.

If these tattoos seem familiar to you, or you have any possible information on this case, please contact The Homicide Division of the Fajardo Criminal Investigation Corps (CIC) in Puerto Rico and ask for either Agent Edelmiro Lebron or Prosecutor Félix Sánchez who are both responsible for this investigation.
