A quarter of the deaths investigated?
@Lyanna Thanks for your post.
Anything in particular that's interesting?
This tidbit caught my attn.
"While many natural deaths can be certified by the decedent’s physician, approximately one quarter of deaths require further investigation to determine cause and manner of death and ensure public health and safety."

A quarter of the deaths investigated? Not necessarily autopsied. Still,
that seems like a high % of deaths.
Nevertheless maybe autopsy report on SM will reveal CoD & MoD.
Hoping, hoping, hoping.
ETA: several places.

Oct 5, when I posted same link as yours, most recent Annual Report posted online was 2020.
Since then, Coroner, PIO, or webmaster catching up by posting 2021 & 2022 reports?
2021 & 2022 reports did show higher numbers of autopsies than 2020 report.
From 2020 report:
"In addition to performing 920 autopsies on El Paso County Deaths, the office performed 373 autopsies for a fee for 21 surrounding counties."
"TOTAL CASES INVESTIGATED = 6037
TOTAL AUTOPSIES PERFORMED = 1293
(9% Increase over 2019)"
I agree completely. If JL had come forward as soon as Suzanne went missing, the investigation may have had a different result. I’m curious why you think that, can you explain why?
