Oakland police identified the remains as those of 50-year-old Sandra Coke of Oakland on Tuesday.

Search and rescue crews found the body in a woodsy area near Laguna Valley Park in unincorporated Vacaville on Friday afternoon.

Coke worked as a capital case investigator for the federal public defender's office in Sacramento. CBS Bay Area affiliate KCBS reports she was last seen by her 15-year-old daughter when she left home on Aug. 4, at about 8:30 p.m.
