Tracey Coreen Hobson, 20 (pictured), has been identified as the woman whose skeletal remains were found in Anaheim on August 30, 1987, after authorities said her body had likely been there for two months
A coroner's office in Southern California has confirmed the identity of a murder victim whose naked, dismembered body was found 31 years ago, with the help of the DNA Doe Project.
Tracey Coreen Hobson, 20, has been identified as the woman whose skeletal remains were found in Anaheim on August 30, 1987, after authorities said her body had likely been there for two months.
A total of nine agencies, including the Orange County Sheriff's Department and the DNA Doe Project, worked together to confirm that Hobson was the woman found naked, with her hands cut off, six teeth missing and stomatology a chipped front tooth, after having been stabbed in the torso.
Since its inception in 2017, the DNA Doe Project has successfully identified six cold case victims, using the same technology used to identify suspected Golden State Killer, Joseph DeAngelo.
The DNA Doe Project does not attempt to identify perpetrators of crimes.

'The only items recovered near the body [of Hobson] were a red handkerchief and a length of cord,' OCSD said in statement released on Thursday.
'An anthropological examination of the remains confirmed the woman had been stabbed in the torso and her hands had been cut off. At the time the remains were discovered, experts estimated the body had been in the area approximately two months.'
The remains were found over three decades ago by a passerby, in a grassy area about 50 feet from Santa Ana Caynon Road, OCSD said.
That area is about one-half mile west of Gypsum Canyon Road in unincorporated Anaheim.
'Forensic genealogy has provided a new tool for investigators to work cases from a different angle to bring closure to families,' Sheriff Don Barnes said.
'We will never stop investigating these types of cases and seeking justice for victims of crime.'
The case of the Anaheim woman's identity has benefited from state of the art technology at a few points over the last 30 years.
In the the investigation's early stages, the first-ever clay model facial reconstruction in Orange County history was put to use to generate images of the victim's likeness.
But after yielding no results, the case went cold.
Then, in May of 2005, the California Department of Justice Bureau of Forensic Services was able to extract a DNA profile for dentistry the victim.
That profile was uploaded to uploaded to the California Missing Person's Database and the National Unidentified Person's DNA Index.
'Over the years, her DNA profile was compared to several possible subjects in an attempt to identify the victim, with no results,' OCSD said.
'In January 2017, an OCSD Investigator assigned to the Orange County Cold Case Homicide Task Force reviewed the case and worked in partnership with the Orange County Sheriff's Department Coroner Division, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and the National Missing and Unidentified Person System (NamUs), to develop several new likenesses of the victim.'
Those images were also publicly released, but the victim still was not identified.
With new breakthroughs in investigative genealogy techniques, Sheriff's investigators partnered with the DNA Doe Project in an attempt to identify the victim.
On November 14, 2018, the DNA Doe Project tentatively identified the victim as Hobson.
