Unfortunately, it has been confirmed it's her. At least police are confident based off clothing, tattoos and piercings.

Police say that a body found in a 55-gallon drum at Travel Trailer Storage in Plymouth Township is the missing 22-year-old from Warren.
Theresa DeKeyzer was identified as the woman found in the drum Friday.
Just prior to her disappearance, she was photographed by police as a victim of domestic violence the night she reported an assault. The woman in the drum had the same clothes as Theresa did in the picture. She was also identified by her two tattoos and earrings.
Green said further interviews in the case were still planned and that, as far as police know, the two tipsters played different roles in getting the trailer to the storage yard. They provided accurate information about the trailer's whereabouts...
A manager at Travel Trailer said the drum was in an enclosed trailer and that, when a lone Warren detective arrived at about 11:30 a.m. Thursday, she showed him where it was... The manager said the space the trailer occupied was rented June 25 by a man who did not live locally and who has paid for the space by the month...
Green said neither the man who rented the trailer storage space nor the man in whose name the trailer is registered is Wobbe... The storage yard manager also noted the man who rented space for the trailer was not Wobbe. "The boyfriend they showed on TV was not the one who rented the lot," she said.
Warren police were executing a search warrant Thursday at the Travel Trailer Storage Facility, on Ann Arbor Road, when they found a womans body inside a 55-gallon blue plastic drum that was filled with sand, sealed with cement and wrapped in plastic. The barrel was apparently bolted to the floor of a small utility trailer at the facility...
Officials said that its took medical examiners more than four hours to free the remains from the drum, being careful to not damage any of the evidence. Spokesperson Mary Mazur said that there were measures utilized to cover up evidence...
Obviously, the discovery is linked to the suspect in the case, Green said, referring to DeKeyzers 37-year-old boyfriend Scott Wobbe, who is currently jailed in a drug case.
OT for my fellow Michigan 'sleuthers: Have you noticed how many local cases there have been in our neck of the woods in recent months?
Investigators plan on interviewing Scott Wobbe on Saturday.
They also believe at least three people are connected to that storage yard and trailer where Theresa's body was found. Police believe they may have some knowledge about what happened as well.
The storage lot where DeKeyzer's body was discovered Friday was rented by a man nine days after the Warren woman disappeared. Doris Temple, manager of Travel Trailer Storage on Ann Arbor Road in Plymouth Township, wouldn't identify the man who rented the space, citing privacy.
"It was an enclosed trailer, it had no windows, no nothing, just the back opens, that's it," Temple told The Detroit News. "Sixteen feet long, maybe"...
In a Sept. 4 article, Detroit News columnist Marney Rich Keenan wrote about DeKeyzer's disappearance. Following that report, Warren police said they received two tips that led investigators to the storage lot, police said Friday.
From your link:
Police and prosecutors working the investigation must now attempt to determine where and how she died and which law enforcement agency will have jurisdiction. The ME’s office as of Saturday had not yet determined the cause and manner of death. Those may hinge on testing of tissue samples.
