2 Years after a Skull was Seen Carried on a Stick, A Woman’s Remains are Identified



SACRAMENTO -- A transient woman was seen walking along Connie Drive in Sacramento, holding a human skull on a stick in October 2016.

Investigators were eventually led to an abandoned homeless encampment on Crosby Way. There, the rest of the remains, identified recently as 26-year-old Mai Ker Thao, were found.

"We're trying to find out what she was doing and who she was with the last week of her life, and that's our missing place in her timeline," Sacramento Police Detective Scot Krutz said. "And that could lead us to what happened ultimately in the end."

Identifying Thao took some time, but her distinctive red hair dye and help from family eventually put a name on those remains.

Now, Thao's sister wants answers.

"Why? Why did you have to do that?" Thao's sister, Mai Dai, said through tears.

Investigators are looking at the transient woman as a person of interest as they try to find Mai Ker Thao's killer. They could not report any further details about the investigation or the transient woman.

Still, there are good times that her sister tries to draw strength from.

"We would like to do each other's makeup. We would just hang out and drink a little and just tell jokes all night. And laugh at each other all night and reminisce about our silly past," she told FOX40.

Her family can pinpoint the exact time when things began to fall apart for Mai Ker Thao.

"It was after she had a miscarriage and then everything just went and fell apart. She just changed," Mai Dai Thao said. "She was never the same anymore. She distanced herself from us."

Despite her struggles, Mai Ker Thao's family says she still tried to be there for her family.

Anyone who may have more information about Thao's death is asked to contact the Sacramento Police Department.

Such a beautiful thing...

I say to start with the bf and sounds like witch craft voodoo if a head is to be place on a stick.  The woman is indeed a person of interest. 

We shall see what the pros will have for us upon the closing of the case. 

I heard of crimes but this is disturbing.  It has the blueprint of a serial mad killer on the lose.

Yep, sounds like some sociopath stuff...

I'm trying to see this as not a homicide case.

She had a miscarriage.  She goes into depression hence her shielding herself from all those that she knows.  Add shaman spirit magic that tells her to go kill herself to be with her baby.  She uses a chainsaw to decapitate her head in a suicidal act.  Head decayed.  Homeless woman finds skull, wash it off and carries it around with her for voodoo protection.

Unless the cops releases what they know, we have little to work with. 

Being young and pretty has the blueprint of a kidnapping, jealousy, crime of passion to it. 

All speculation for now.  Would like to see the outcome to this case cuz this hits close to home and it's disturbing.
