A body found on the San Rafael shoreline has been identified as an 18-year-old woman who had been missing more than a month, the Marin County coroner’s office said Thursday.
Sacramento resident Mai Sai Vue was reported missing from San Francisco after she attended a concert with friends and relatives on Oct. 31. The body was discovered near McNears Beach on Nov. 28.

Chief Deputy Coroner Roger Fielding said investigators found no “overt signs” of a crime. The process of identifying the body was delayed because of its “extended exposure to the aquatic environment and elements,” Fielding said.
The cause of death remains under investigation.
Vue’s disappearance prompted a social media campaign to find her. Her sister Katelynn has started a GoFundMe page to help raise money for funeral expenses. She said her family appreciates the public’s support in the search for Vue.
“Although it was not the news we had hoped for, we are still grateful to know that we have found her and can send her off properly,” she said in a post on the site.
