Where can you find unclaimed bodies or graves in Los Angeles county that are over 30 years ago?

Question

My mother dissappeared in 1974.She hung around the Hollywood area,and Mac Arthur Park.Her name was Shirley Akins, but sometimes used Maldonado ,or Tennight if thats how it's spelled,but the pronunciation is as just as it is written.She was an African American, who the last known person that might have any knowledge was a caucasion with the last name Tennight.She is buried as a jane doe somewhere where they keep graves of unclaimed bodies from the Los Angeles area.
I recently saw an article about such a place,but because of my own misfortune I was unable to recall the date of said article.It was in the Los Angeles times Around August-October.If anyone recalls that issue please respond A.S.A.P.

Answer 1

you would have to call la county me or hall of records.
i would guess that alot of unclaimed bodies might have gone to science in those days but if she was buried either one of those places should know or be able to direct you properly
