Patti Swinburn had a tattoo on her chest (among multiple others, not sure what the PMI or condition was on this Doe) and was en route to San Antonio for a funeral (showing she has ties to the area) when she went missing in Dec 2005 (would be the time of year to wear multiple layers). I need to do further research though(rehab, arrest records etc).

Yeah..... Easy pedestrian access to that area via the neighborhoods too. Maybe she had gotten a ride and had gotten off nearby. Hwy 90 was completed around 1971, and houses were razed in order to complete it. Homes in the neighborhoods are older than the Highway.I pass through this intersection every day to and from work. Just a hunch based on the details/location but I would definitely bet that she is local. Probably trying to cross the highway and had a hit and run.
Yeah, it seems like that to me. She was located under the bridge.Based on what the report said about the many layers of clothing (2 jackets, several shirt and 2 pairs of pants. I don't think she was killed and dumped. My guess is that she was a homeless person who took shelter under the bridge area and died there....perhaps from exposure. It can get below freezing in San Antonio in March
(And while the hwy is busy, *if* she were murdered and dumped, it could have been in the wee hours of the morning when the hwy isn't that busy)
