The Medical Examiner's Office investigators said they know a fair amount about the female, including what she was wearing, her physique, ethnicity, hair color and the designs of several tattoos, and a rough idea of her age when she was found dead in the early hours of Halloween at 2817 N. Fremont Av.
Now the investigators are turning to the public in hopes of learning her name as they work toward determining the circumstances surrounding her death. They said her first name may be Amanda and she possibly could be from St. Cloud.
"Please call the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office at 612-215-6300 and speak to an investigator if you think you may know the identification of this individual," the office said in a statement Thursday.
The request included a description: She was white, age 15-25, 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighed 116 pounds. Her hair was medium-length and brown with red highlights, and her eyes were green. She wore red-checkered pajama pants, a black-and-white long-sleeve top and a purple bra.
Her tattoos do not appear to have been done professionally. They include a star on her left thigh, two stars on her upper chest, a double X with what looks like a smiley face and another with an indiscernible design on her outer right knee.
An investigator with the examiner's office declined to share more details about the case, including whether the body was found in the house or somewhere else on the property.
Minneapolis police spokesman Aaron Rose said his department is investigating the death. "It's looking like this one is likely an [overdose]," Rose said, "but that won't be confirmed until toxicology reports come back, which takes several weeks."
Deeyon Persaud, a real estate agent, owns the single-family rental property where the body was found. Persaud declined to answer any questions when reached by phone late Thursday afternoon.
