The Santa Clara County medical examiner’s office today confirmed that the human remains found in the Santa Cruz Mountains last week were those of 83-year-old San Jose resident Ann Marie Vlahovich.

Vlahovich, who lived on Kingfisher Drive, was reported missing by a neighbor on Feb. 2. She had last been seen on Jan. 20.

On the morning of April 8, a work crew found Vlahovich’s white 2001 Cadillac STS covered in brush off of state Highway 9 in unincorporated Santa Clara County.

A short time later, human remains were discovered in the same area.

San Jose police spokesman Dirk Parsons said there is no indication of foul play in the death.
