Rosemma Mendenhall was a woman who was found stabbed to death near Corning, California in 1990.

Case[]

Rosemma had initially disappeared from Eureka, California sometime in early 1990 and was seen hitchhiking near Corning that summer. However, when her sister reported her missing in 1998, she stated that she had last heard from Rosemma in 1993, which led to the Jane Doe case in Corning never being connected to her disappearance.

In 2013, the Tehama County Sheriff's Office began reviewing cold cases from the 1990s, sending the jawbone of the unidentified woman to the California Department of Justice. In April 2015, it was announced that DNA and fingerprints had led to her identification.
