Ramos had last been seen with her two daughters, 2-month-old Jasmin and 14-month-old Elizabeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to investigators, the girls were abandoned in a park restroom in Oxnard, California, on December 14, 1989, two days after their mother\u2019s body was discovered. A witness found them crying on the wet floor and notified police, who turned them over to Child Protective Services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters spent time in foster care before being adopted together by a family in Ventura County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Detectives confirmed the women\u2019s identities this year after a forensic genetic genealogist linked a DNA match to the Ramos family. In August, investigators contacted the women and confirmed their history matched details of the case. DNA testing verified them as Ramos\u2019s daughters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the discovery solves one part of the 36-year-old case, the homicide investigation remains open. A witness reported seeing a woman and two men with the children in the park in 1989, driving a black mini pickup truck. The woman was described as Hispanic, wearing a long red skirt and white boots. Both men were described as Hispanic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mohave County Sheriff\u2019s Office is asking anyone with information to call 928-753-0753 ext. 4408.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authorities in Arizona have identified and located the two daughters of a homicide victim who was killed in 1989, resolving one part of a decades-long mystery.
