Decomposed Body found in Scurry Co.*3/16/13* - LE identified as being Hailey

[Frostess]

If they identified her through dental records, I am scratching my head. That would have taken a week or so, but they waited a month to announce it?

I read that too, but KTXS said FBI said they made identity through DNA. So maybe a misprint?

KTXS said DNA was identified by lab at university of n Texas at Denton. One of the top forensic labs in country

They were able to identify her through dental records.

Guess that means they extracted DNA from a tooth.

So sad, so, so sad.

Yes, I think that would have been a good source of DNA. I guess we'll find out more info soon!

I agree, which causes me to think that not identifying her publicly til now serves some higher purpose. Is it too much to hope that they have been quietly going about building a case against someone or that they maybe wanted to hold off on public announcement til other testing came back, such as COD, tox, etc?

They did wait an awful long time to confirm it is her if they did indeed ID her through dental.

Does anyone have a link where I can watch a replay of the news conference?

May justice follow swiftly. I am so sorry sweetheart!! :cry:

Hailey....I am sorry. RIP. May those responsible never have another peaceful moment, and may it cause them to come foward and do the right thing.

I'm seeing DNA on the other sites, too. I thought it was said there were no dental records on file for Hailey. At least not in NamUS, iirc.

Did she find out at the same time we all did?

 

[Openmyeyes]

I'm glad and sad at the same time. Glad that they found her and so, so sad she is gone.
Hopefully, there will be some evidence and it will bring justice to the ones the deserve it.
