Jane Doe whose burned body was found last week along an Antioch trail.
The victim is 25-year-old Mykaella Sharlman, who the Contra Costa County Coroner’s Office identified based on her dental records. Police arrested two people of interest in relation to Sharlman’s death. The two are currently in police custody.
