Not sure about visibility from road...the people who found her were actually searching the area for her. They called 911 around 7 pm.
911 caller told Westerville police body found appeared to be female
"According to that 911 call, the body appeared to be a white woman who was "tiny" in stature. The caller said she and at least two other people were in the area searching for Noble when they came across the remains.
The caller also said they saw a rope hanging from a tree."
The police's statements seem strangely defensive, which is interesting to me. A tiny white woman in the lot next to Emily's home...suggesting it might be Emily isn't exactly "wild speculation." Of course we don't know until there's positive identification, but acknowledging it might be her as being (well) within the realm of possibility might quell some of the speculation they seem so concerned about.
