How far was she found from where the motorhome was parked?
Law enforcement has not said exactly where she was found.

wow just seeing the news now
I mean we knew it but it's still somehow a bit of a shock
RIP Barbara
Yes, confirmed Barb's remains have been found and identified.Has she been found? EDIT I now think she has but is all very vague. RIP BT.
@rosesfromangels Thx for your post...."Last updated December 27, 2020; case resolved."
As you point out, "case resolved" as of yesterday. I wouldn't expect any further info will be made available to the public as this is not a criminal case. Amateur opinion and speculation
See post a few upthread. You can order death cert. with COD if you like.Who Said "Resolved"?
@rosesfromangels Thx for your post.
"case resolved" stmt. came from Charley Project website,* not SBSD or other LE, afaik.
In Dec 18 NIXLE release** & since then, afaik, LE has not revealed anything about nature or status of investigation.
so I wondered if I missed an update, thought maybe someone recalled differently, maybe could provide a link.
SBSD's Dec 18 update "No other details are available for release at this time" bbm suggests imo, they anticipate they may release info later. Like after autopsy report is finalized; Death Cert is issued? my2cts, could be wrong.

@angelsfromroses Thx for your response.See post a few upthread. You can order death cert. with COD if you like.
LE and family are under no obligation to provide additional info to the public unless this has been deemed a criminal matter, which there is nothing to suggest it is that I am aware of. The death cert. is the definitive document. In California, it is a public record. Amateur opinion and speculation

I am not going to speak for the Coroner. You can call his office and ask if the death certificate with cause of death is ready. Get it straight from the source vs. an amateur sleuther.Are you saying Barbara's autopsy is complete and cause of death has been determined?
: )@angelsfromroses Thx for your response.
I understand LE is not obligated to release any further info to public.
I'm wondering if LE released some info to public since Dec 18, and I missed it. Anyone? Thx in adv.

Because we have folks on the thread who absolutely believe foul play is involved. I think it will be important for them to see the official COD from the Coroner.It's ok.
I asked because you have encouraged people several times, to get their own copy of Barbara's death certificate, with cause of death, including giving a link where they can do so
I don't understand why that's being suggested

Criminal Investigation?
@mlhenn bbm. Thx for your post and link.
IIUC, The Charley Project's "resolved" status = BT is no longer missing, iow, remains were identified as hers.
IIUC, that stmt does not reflect status/nature of LE's current investigation, i.e., criminal or non-criminal.
LE's Dec 18 NIXLE stmt says "cause of death is pending"* and
"INCIDENT: Missing Person/Death Investigation"* bbm Before Dec. 18, did <-- say "Missing Person" only?
Does anyone recall --- before Dec 18, did SBSD characterize case as:
- anything other than "Missing Person"?*
- "Death Investigation" (LE phrasing in Dec. 18 update)?*
- "criminal investigation" which LE did not say in Dec 18 update?*
Thx in adv.

* INCIDENT: Missing Person/Death Investigation
"UPDATE – December 18, 2020
On November 27, 2020 two people were hiking in a field off Kelbaker Road when they discovered human remains. On November 28th a further search was conducted, and additional bones and evidence was recovered.
The remains have been positively identified as Barbara Thomas. The cause of death is pending.
No other details are available for release at this time."

@al66pine as @LAhiker stated I believe on The Charley Project site, ‘case resolved’ means the person is no longer missing (found safely or remains found).As far as I can tell, "case resolved" on that site means that the person or their remains have been found. The cause of death is still pending. We don't know whether further information will be made available or not.
JMO
So, in this context, ‘resolved’ simply means that she’s no longer a missing person, I assume.
So, does this mean the death certificate is completed and ready? I think I missed somethingOk - I appreciate you explaining
