Fresno Police

Due to all the initial clues that the authorities found, they were pretty sure that Jill Ann had become part of the seedy side of Hollywood. Police Lt. Jerry Davis said, “It’s one of those tragic endings that we often see when someone becomes involved in a spiral of drug use that turns into prostitution, that ultimately ends in murder.”

Identifying Her Body

The police said that it took an entire week to identify that it is was Jill Ann Weatherwax from her fingerprints. They were puzzled by the fact that her body was found 200 miles away from Los Angeles. They questioned her friends, but it didn’t really help. Sgt. Daryl Green, who was assisting with the investigation at the time explained, “We’ve talked to several friends in Southern California, but that really hasn’t assisted us in our investigation why she was found dead in Fresno.”
