Santa Cruz's Jane Doe has a name!

Back in March 2006, I had posted on an unidentified young woman whose body was found in Greyhound Rock County Park in Santa Cruz County, California.
Now, the Doe Network (http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/identified.html) lists that she has been identified:
Fatima Raquel Fernandez
The victim was located on March 18, 2006 in Santa Cruz County, California.
She was identified in November 2007. On November 11, 2007, a San Bruno woman
reported her niece was missing and hadn't been seen or heard from since January
of 2006. Fernandez is an undocumented immigrant from Nicaragua, where her family
still lives. Using Fernandez's identification, and a fingerprint comparison from
her body, the sheriff's crime scene investigations unit identified Fernandez as
the woman found at Greyhound Rock. Her boyfriend confessed to her
homicide.
