I hope this woman get;'s a recon if the partial remains included her skull/cranium. Poor dear-the Doe's found in bogs, sewers -really tug my heartstrings

 

[Nancy Drew RN]

It sounds like the remains consist of a skull and a humerus and were found a deeply wooded area, with extremely dense vegetation.

[jkloc420]

Wonder how old they think the bones are?

Namus now says these remains are male but still no age or race parameters.

There is discussion of these remains in the WS thread for Jared Macauley, including links to local newspapers with family speculating it may be him.

Peat bog body could be hundreds or thousands of years old.. but you can tell if its "fresh" or older than 20 years as the humin acids that preserve bodies in the bogs and slowly dissolve the bones while preserving the soft tissues work very very slowly...

Sorry to be so graphic, but I am an archeologist...

 

[JaneDrew]

Good to know, was wondering about that!

Any rule-outs in NamUs at this point?
The man mentioned above, JM, seems plausible, IMO.

 

[ChatteringBirds]

Bumping up cse for 2022. It is still up in NamUs, with little information.
