On October 15th , 2013, a traffic collision involving a vehicle and a woman pushing a shopping cart occurred at the intersection of 4th Street and Lacy Street in Santa Ana.
The pedestrian was rushed off to the Western Medical Center in Santa Ana in extremely critical condition. For the duration of the investigation, officers were unable to determine the woman's identity. Her fingerprints were compared in all local, state, and federal identification databases, which did not return with any matches. The woman did not match the description of any outstanding missing persons in Santa Ana.
Two and a half months later, the woman still remains fully dependent, in the care of the staff at the Western Medical Center. The woman is in a state where she cannot communicate. Her identity is still unknown.
