According to the Department of Motor Vehicles and the SDPD, the car found at the scene is registered to Grace Ann Hall, 23. Police have not yet confirmed if the woman found inside the vehicle is the same person the car is registered to.
A bulletin issued on Wednesday by the San Diego Police Department identifies Hall as a missing person. It describes her as a white female, 5-foot-7, 150 pounds with blond hair and hazel eyes.
According to the SDPD bulletin, Hall was last seen around 8 p.m. on Mar. 20 driving a grey Toyota Camry in the 9100 block of Rebecca Avenue in Serra Mesa.
Hall was supposed to travel to Sherman Oaks in Los Angeles for a job interview. At the time the police bulletin was issued, investigators did not know if Hall had ever arrived in Sherman Oaks as planned.
Police say Hall’s credit card had been used in Mira Mesa since her disappearance, but hadn’t been used since Mar. 27.
As for the body discovered by police on Thursday, investigators have identified the victim, but have not yet released the woman’s name pending notification to her family.
An autopsy is scheduled for Friday, SDPD officials said. The medical examiner will determine the woman’s cause of death.
Homicide detectives and the ME were called to the scene Thursday to assist in the investigation. Officers cordoned off a section of the street where the car was found.
