I was thinking they had left it up because they only had her ribs and skull. but idk.

should this be in "found deceased"?

I thought that was the reason as well. I guess they don't believe that they will recover anything else. :(
 
Cynthia Hernandez was laid to rest this past Friday.

Photos: Family Buries 1976 Murder Victim in Glendora-DNA solves cold case

Forty years after she was kidnapped and killed, Cynthia Hernandez came home to Glendora. Her family internment cremated remains at Oakdale Memorial Park in Glendora Friday, December 2, 2016. Convicted Larry James Allred pleaded guilty and was sentenced to killing Hernandez 40 years ago. The Glendora teen went to a Covina theater to catch a showing of the Omen on Aug. 26, 1976 but never came home. The case was only solved when DNA from a Jane Doe found years ago matched DNA from Hernandez's mother and younger sister.

After 40 Years, Funeral Finally Set for Slain Woman

Gloria Densham has been waiting for more than 40 years but she finally gets to pay tribute to her daughter on Friday in a somber funeral at Oakdale Memorial Park in Glendora.

The remains were released to the family and now Densham is planning to inter them in a cremation wall so "the sunrise will be at her head and the sunset at her back."

Densham cries to this day when talking about her daughter, a powder puff football player and aspiring cosmetician, whose life was cut way too short.

"I'm sad," said Densham, fighting to keep her composure. "I'd like to have seen what she would've done with her life."

Glendora police detectives Matt Fenner and Marty Amaro, now retired, plan on attending the funeral. Fenner said it will be a tough day, but he hopes it will bring closure for Densham.

"Most of all she wanted to have a Christian burial for her daughter," Fenner said.

This, like so many, is such a sad case. But, I'm glad Cynthia's mother lived to see the resolution of her daughter's case.
