Is it possible to detect entanglement by observing only one of the entangled particles?

For example, suppose an entangled electron and anti-electron have been produced in an inertial center-of-mass frame. If we have just a single detector and it observes a positron, then it's probably from such a pair. But does anything about the positron other than its rarity suggest that it is entangled, if we do not also observe the other particle of the pair?
