Remains Of Missing Sonoma County Woman Annie Bailly Found; Foul Play Suspected

SONOMA COUNTY, CA - More than two years after her disappearance, a Sonoma County woman's remains have been located at a national park in Marin County.

Reyes Station in February, 26 months after she was reported missing. Sonoma County Sheriff’s Violent Crimes detectives say they consider her death to be a homicide.

She has been considered a missing person for the last two years, and her case has been considered suspicious. Her family had issued a $10,000 reward to help locate her.

The discovery of he body came on February 17, after motorists involved in a vehicle collision near Lagunitas Creek off Platform Bridge Road, between Sir Francis Drake Boulevard and Petaluma-Point Reyes Rd. in Marin County made the discovery of her body over an embankment. They notified the Marin County Sheriff’s Department who recovered the skeletal remains.

A forensic autopsy was completed in Marin County and, with the help of dental records, they were able to identify Bailly’s body. A cause of death has not been released at this time, however evidence suggests to detectives that Bailly was murdered, according to authorities.
