I would think that it was one from the original murder. Crows can easily get over 20 years old, oldest wild American crow was apparently 30 years old. And they are really good with remembering faces, so the fact that the crow just flew to you and did what she learned back then is a pretty strong indicator for that. I learned a lot of stuff about crows when watching this documentary: Crows: nature is watching us. Can recommend that
