Bumping up. Respectfully, this would be a fascinating case for genetic geneology. I assume she's been reported missing by now.

Are there any known rule-outs for this case?

I wonder they can determine how her head and other parts were removed.

I wonder they can determine how her head and other parts were removed.

I think she either drowned or her body was placed in the water. Not to be graphic but in water, after decomposition, sometimes only random remains are found, because everything becomes separated. I don't think it means anything unexpected for a drowning or other type of victim in water. It's really unfortunate what happens. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong. It's just what I've gathered from W.S. JMO.)
