The pickup truck driver pursued by authorities for more than 30 minutes Tuesday from Hollister to Gilroy escaped on foot, but the investigating sheriff’s office reported that it might have a positive identification on the suspect.
An autopsy conducted Monday on the body discovered off Cannon Road did not confirm a cause of death, although investigators now believe the unidentified female victim was “possibly” between ages 20 and 35 and “possibly” Asian or Hispanic, according to the San Benito County Sheriff’s Office.
The 20-year-old victim in a Jan. 28 fatal accident and fire on Fairview Road died of blunt-force trauma, a spokesman for the sheriff’s office said Thursday.
The county coroner’s office has released the identity of the man who died last week on the Old Stage Road portion of the Juan Bautista de Anza National Trail system.
