Police have identified the body of the woman found Monday in Umauma Stream.

She was identified through fingerprints Tuesday as 62-year-old Bobbie “Jackie” Carnathan of Kailua-Kona, who was reported missing Saturday.

An autopsy conducted today determined that she died from traumatic injuries consistent with a fall from a height. Police do not suspect foul play.

Detectives continue to investigate this incident, which is classified as a coroner’s inquest. They ask witnesses who may have seen Carnathan on a “Hele On” bus or who had any contact with her at the World Botanical Gardens and Waterfalls park in Hakalau to contact Detective Dean Uyetake at 961-2379 or dean.uyetake@hawaiicounty.gov.
