Case History
This young woman stepped onto Pacific Coast Highway on April Fools' Day, 1990. She was struck first by a Mazda MX-6, then a Lincoln Continental. She died instantly.
When a sketch of her was published in local newspapers, several Huntington Beach residents said they had spoken with her.
Her first name may have been Andrea and she may have been from the East-Coast. She had no permanent home in Orange County. One of the people who had spoken with her said she claimed to be adopted and was trying to find her real family. She said she was from somewhere like Virginia. And she told another person she was from New York. She claimed that she was 25 or 26. But she appeared to be as young as 16.
"Andrea" also spent a night at the home of a mobile-home salesman who took pity on the homeless woman who had few articles of clothing and no money. The family fed her, gave her the back bedroom and gave her some money. "Andrea" apparently took the money and bought clothes at a Goodwill store, including a pair of shoes for $19.95. She was wearing the pink shoes with the price tags still on when she was struck on the highway by two cars.
Her parents, she claimed, were pretty well-known, but she didn't divulge who they were. She had been adopted at a very young age. She didn't have any type of identification. The salesman said the morning "Andrea" left his house, she cut off some of her hair and put it on her finger.

Mysterious Jane Doe case in Southern California finally solved after 27 years
By JACK DATE EMILY SHAPIRO
May 11, 2017, 2:37 PM ET

Andrea Kuiper of Fairfax, Va., has been identified as the woman struck and killed by two cars in Huntington Beach, Calif., on April 1, 1990.

A mysterious Jane Doe case in Southern California has been solved after 27 years thanks to a fingerprint match, officials said today.

Andrea Kuiper has been identified as the 26-year-old woman who was struck and killed by two cars while crossing the Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach, California, on April 1, 1990, the Orange County Sheriff's Department said in a news release today.

The Orange County Sheriff's Department's Coroner Division worked on the case for years.

“We never forgot her and would regularly pull out her file to see if we could think of anything new to try,” Supervising Deputy Coroner Kelly Keyes said in the sheriff's department's statement. “The investigators at the Coroner’s Office never stopped trying to figure out who she was."

Then this year, the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System partnered with the FBI to more closely examine fingerprints of unidentified people, and on May 4, the FBI told the Orange County Sheriff's Department's Coroner Division that it had a hit, the sheriff's office said.

Kuiper of Fairfax, Virginia, had gone to California when she was 26. According to the sheriff's department, Kuiper's parents said she suffered from manic depressive disorder and used drugs.

The last time the Kuipers heard of their daughter's well-being was a few months before her death, when a friend of hers called her parents to say she was OK, the sheriff's department said.

Now, the family is grateful to have closure.

“We are thankful to know what happened to our daughter after all these years,” her father, Richard Kuiper, said, according to the sheriff's department.
