Sorry this is so late...
Here is a link to a news article with a link to a copy of the autopsy report:

I'm sure it's been seen by all of you by now but I hadn't seen this particular news article listed here.
I keep seeing comments on different news sites and stuff about the remains being incomplete, and no mention in the autopsy of a skull. Here are my thoughts:
I really think the investigators have a lot more than we know. I hope they have something good and are just waiting for a little bit more evidence. There is a lot of info redacted from that report, not just with the black out (that we can see) but with white out and just plain omitting as well. I can't imagine the police searching the wash for evidence for DAYS after the remains were located, and them not returning to locate something as important as the skull unless:
A. They have it and we just don't know
B. They have a reason to believe that they would never find it
C. There was evidence that it was damaged/destroyed due to the body traveling in the harsh flood waters and would be impossible to recover all of it.
But if A: WHY don't we know? What about the skull is so important to the investigation that they would redact that info from the report? Especially since they do not have a cause of death.
If B, then they have a good idea as to why they wouldn't, but I think we'd have a suspect or a theory on a cause of death, if that were the case. No indication of animal activity other than bird pecking were noted in the report.
If if it were C, I can't imagine that they wouldn't TRY to locate what pieces of it they could. But then, why would a partial skull be redacted from the report?
It appears to be a homicide. But LE hasn't classified it as such, which makes me think they are allowing the possibility that she died accidentally and was buried.
Just thinking out loud. Maybe even hoping out loud. Sorry if this makes no sense. I keep reading it and trying to make what I said sound less like a rambling mess, to no avail. More questions adding up to more questions, I guess.
I just keep thinking: Sometimes, what isn't said is just as important as what is.
