Damn it.

Ugh

And specifics also fit with it being her (and also apparently recent enough they could tell female and such a narrow age range seemingly immediately)

On Monday, October 26th, 2015 at 2:31 PM a farmer reported to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office that he had discovered what he believed to be human remains in the field he was harvesting in Orange Township in Douglas County. Deputies responded and confirmed what appeared to be the remains of a late teens to early twenties female.

Lots of her friends now posting condolences and memories on FB.

They seem to all be sure it's her

The Douglas Co Sheriff statement is also now posted on the Pope County Sheriff page https://www.facebook.com/popecounty...41828.586499314761264/892753584135834/?type=3

A family member confirmed it to her friends.

Condolences to her loved ones tonight. Also, I'm thankful for all the alert farmers who find the missing on their land.

 

[TravelingBug]

As much as this has got to be heartbreaking to everyone who loved her, I'm so glad that farmer found her and as quickly (relatively speaking) as he did.

The massive area and difficult terrain in much of it could have meant she wouldn't be found ever or not for months or even years - postponing someone from facing justice and leaving Laura's family and friends always wondering where she was.

If it had been longer, there could have been snow that would have kept her from being found for months, potentially, as well.

And hopefully it being sooner rather than later also means there's more evidence that will help bring justice for Laura, since what LE has said doesn't seem to leave a lot of room that whatever led her to where she was found was voluntary.

So sad Poor girl. Had her entire life ahead of her. I can't imagine the pain her family are feeling.

Oh, no. *sigh* So sorry to hear this.

Oh no. I was so hoping they would find her safe and sound.

May her family find peace and justice.

Still no confirmation in MSM. How horrible for the poor farmer who discovered the body. Hoping for answers soon for Laura's loved ones.

Certainly not the outcome I was hoping to see when I checked the thread this morning

Human remains found in a western Minnesota farm field are those of a Minnesota college student missing for nearly two weeks, her family and its church community confirmed Tuesday.
