Almost four years after she was found, she still has no name. Roots of Truth Initiative, in partnership with the Weld County Sheriff's Office, is working to give it back.
Watch her story on TikTokIn April 2022, an unhoused woman walking through a wooded lot in rural Weld County found skeletal remains — and did the right thing. She reported them. Because of her, a woman who had been lying there unknown finally had someone looking for her.
A forensic examination revealed she was between 30 and 58 years old and had given birth to at least one child — which means somewhere, a son or daughter may still be wondering what happened to their mother. Almost four years later, she remains nameless.
Roots of Truth Initiative, in partnership with the Weld County Sheriff's Office, exists to change that: to give her back her name, and give her family an answer.
If any of these items look familiar, you may be able to help identify her.
