The Broward County Medical Examiner's office performed an autopsy yesterday but the condition of the body prevented determination of cause of death.

Detectives say the woman wore the earring around the chain like a medallion and said the watchface carries the name Kenneth Lane on its face. The watchband appears to be specially made. The woman was described as between 20 to 30 years old, with brown shoulder-length hair, brown eyes, weighed about 122 pounds and had a can of Protecta Mace in her jeans.

According to a sheriff's office spokesman, a call was received yesterday from a woman who said she had seen a young woman hitch hiking on State Road 84 around 4:00 p.m. Tuesday, who fit the general description given in Fort Lauderdale newspapers.
The woman told detectives that the hitch hiker was wearing blue jeans, a light blue mid-rift top and carrying a shoulder bag. The woman said she had not seen the picture of the four pieces of jewelry which was in the newspaper Friday, but hesitated calling authorities because of her fear of becoming involved.
The woman was unable to say if the girl she had seen was wearing any of the jewelry.
