Trooper Brant Goubeaux assisted and attempted to identify the female passenger. The passenger identified herself as a female with a date of birth in 1949.

The provided date of birth would have made her 71 years old. A computer check indicated that Patricia Jackson was an alias for Regina A. Jackson, Date of Birth: 06-08-1965.
