You will love Canjo, I love the main st and all the little family owned shops and restaurants. Plus it smells like candy. It is a great community and what happened to Michaela is very much out of the norm for this area. I still feel 100% safe in the area.

Canjo has some really neat old architecture and homes at pretty good prices
The golf course is quite nice, too, as well as the Mohawk, the surrounding scenery, history.. Best wishes to you! Overall, our rural communities are friendly and pretty kind, as you've discovered. I'm a county over, but not far at all as the crow flies. Things like this don't often happen around here, but there is the scourge of drugs as that seems to be everywhere 
Rumors, fears and speculation are unfortunately the norm when something like this occurs. It's human nature, but too often take on a life of their own. I feel that the SP and local LE will be doing a good job with this, and I honestly think the more updating LE can do, without jeopardizing anything, the fewer rumors might become. JMO.
Holy cow you are not kidding about that rumor mill. It’s just so small and everybody knows everybody, plus we have some huge families around here so word travels fast. Everybody wants to help any way they can and I’m sure most are well meaning. And people are rightly scared and want answers so it probably makes them feel a bit better by having a suspect in mind, even though it may not be them. Heck for all we know it was some random person traveling rte 5 with bad intentions.

Michaela MacVilla's body was found in a rural part of Fulton County, off of Krings Bush Road in Oppenheim. I drove up there yesterday morning, here's a look at the scene we found.

Though they've opened a criminal investigation, New York State Police in Latham wouldn't rule out suicide as a possible cause of death.
Michaela is the third family member to be mourned in the last few months. Her sister passed away unexpectedly a month ago. Her grandfather passed away two months ago.

Thank you! I'm a county over, too. Otsego County, Cooperstown. This area is very beautiful, and the people are very kind. Yes, drugs are a problem everywhere - especially with the heroin epidemicCanjo has some really neat old architecture and homes at pretty good prices

I don't feel any less safe up there either. There is evil hiding everywhere, in every community. Our rural areas thankfully see it very rarely.
I just saw on social media that an elderly couple from Canjo took their car out for their morning ride this morning and never returned home. Yikes.

Hi - Totally OT, but had to mention it. Do you know Nick ----- Park? He was my great uncle. Never been there; but my parents were multiple times. I know it is a very beautiful area. Thanks and sorry for the OT, but I don't often find anyone who is from Cooperstown. Thanks Katt

I suppose if a body is badly decomposed, or otherwise damage, autopsy might be a challenge. Or, it's just taking a while?

Hmmmm, nope, I don't know Nick Park, but do know quite a few Nick's in town.
Omg i know! I’m hoping they took a unexpected trip to Turning Stone or something. That is scary and also out of the ordinary.
We go to Cooperstown frequently
One of the loveliest villages there is. New thread for the missing couple. I hope it's a very short and happy thread.NY - George(95) and Claire(92) Devoe, last seen Oct.4 @9A.M. in Canajoharie

If a POI(s) is still at large, they may not release the results until there is enough evidence for an arrest warrant. If they release too early and it's ruled homicide and the person knows they are on LE's radar they may flee the area.

FAMILY OF MICHAELA MACVILLA WAITING FOR ANSWERS, CLINGING TO SUPPORT
"Two days after a private citizen found the body of 21-year-old Michaela MacVilla on his property along Kringsbush Road in Oppenheim, Fulton County on Tuesday, a New York State Police roadblock remained on Kringsbush, near Baum Road.
"They want to make sure that whoever is responsible is brought to justice," said MacVilla's aunt, Cora Murray.
State police aren't releasing Michaela MacVilla's manner of death, for example – homicide, suicide, accidental – until they have results of an autopsy, performed by Dr. Michael Sikirica at Albany Medical Center. State police don't have a time frame for that, but MacVilla's family says police have told them how she died.
"They've told us cause of death, which I'm not going to convey. That's up to law enforcement to pass on that type of information," said Murray...."

So the aunt says she has been told the cause of death? And wants justice. Hmmm.
Cause, but not manner. AFAIK. It sounds as if they know both, though, and I can understand keeping it quiet. Then again, perhaps LE or the pathologist is awaiting a bit more investigation or results before a definitive manner. It's always possible the aunt mixed up cause and manner, too, as many folks do.
