SAN JOSE, Calif. (KRON) — A woman whose body was found dumped near San Jose was identified by family members on Tuesday.
The mother of five, 35-year-old Jami Narvaez of San Jose, was found dead on October 9, her family said. Narvaez’s grieving children are ages 16, 12, 11, eight, and six.
“It’s been a rough loss as she leaves behind 5 children. These children will go on wondering why such a horrible thing like this happened,” the victim’s sister wrote on a GoFundMe page. “My sister was very loved by many people, she had a big heart. She put others first.”
Investigators remained silent about the homicide case until Monday, when the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office issued a press release stating that a body had been found.
Deputies were dispatched to the 2200 block of Mount Pleasant Road in unincorporated San Jose on October 9 after the Sheriff’s Office received a report of a “female found unresponsive near the roadway,” SCCSO stated. The woman was declared deceased and the case was classified as a homicide investigation.
The area is dotted with residential homes on the outskirts of East San Jose.
Narvaez’s family, who lives in Modesto, told KRON4 that she was last heard from on September 10 when she called home. The victim’s sister believes she was murdered.
Investigators did not say if they have identified any suspects. The Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone with information to call its investigators at 408-808-4500. To make an anonymous tip, you can call Sheriff’s Office Investigative Services at 408-808-4431.
