Sheriff Patrick Withrow identified her as Amanda Lynn Schumann Deza, who was 30 years old.
Law enforcement officials were able to identify her through DNA analysis and genealogy research, tracking down family members who ultimately confirmed her identity.
According to the sheriff’s office, she was a mother and was going through “challenging times.” Deza had lived in Napa, Oakley and the Delta area.
{T]here is not a named suspect yet.
On March 29, 1995, Deza was found dead inside a refrigerator in an irrigation ditch along Bacon Island Road in San Joaquin County.
She was found inside gagged and bound with her hands behind her back.
The county coroner believed her body may have been inside the refrigerator for as much as a year, and her autopsy helped officials determine the cause of death to be blunt force trauma.
[S]he was wearing a blue sweatshirt, with Levi’s shorts and a Victoria’s Secret bra...blue-striped knee-high socks with toes in them and Gorilla brand boots.
Her accessories were found with her, such as a 1/3-carat diamond ring and two cosmetic jewelry rings in her pocket.
... a Hillary brand sleeping bag was also inside the fridge.

Lady in the Refrigerator is definitely a cold case.
Gives me the chills just thinking about it.
Amanda Lynn Schumann Deza
I get the impression that her maiden name was Schumann and she married a guy named Deza.
Which makes her husband Mr Deza a “person of interest”.
A ‘Hillary” brand sleeping bag, you say?
You beat me to it.
Cold case.
Ouch.
Sounds like a job for Jim Rockford!
A cold case ..... ?
But then they will claim it was a suicide, not a homicide. 🙂
“But then they will claim it was a suicide, not a homicide.”
That would only be if she actually tied herself to the refer, and drug it out to the ditch she was found in. Otherwise, covid related.

They could only get away with that if they took her from the site where she was found, directly to the hospital and tested her before admitting her to determine she had only recently died, and that she must have run away and been hiding since 1995. 🤣
On a (totally unrelated) side note. That reminds me that I should clean out the freezer this weekend.
She was willing to sacrifice their love.
Lol!
