I suspect the remains found are her. I cannot say for sure, but they are being very hush hush about any details. They cannot confirm until coroner report comes back and they may have been burned to make it difficult to recognize.
I remember on several occasions in my area where there was a case involving a missing person and it turns out they found the body days before, but proceeded to investigate like they had not. I saw mentioned last night the daughter mentioned/warned that they were only disclosing what the detectives gave out.
