Two witnesses have come forward and provided a possible identification and a nickname for the dead woman, saying they believe she went by the name of "Montana" and may have also had the first name of "Julie."
A witness stated she may have seen the woman getting her prescription medications at CVS Pharmacy located on Carson St and Winnie Lane in Carson City. Another witness provided information that "Montana" may have been from Florida or Montana.
