Belimom, it's strange that there doesn't seem to be any evidence in the home. Or even around the home....
We know HB was incapacitated and taken from her home.
Because blood was left behind.
According to local news, Karen was decomposed and identified by dental records.
There were periods of 60 degree days after she went missing, so that makes sense.
But then the reports have LE saying that there was obvious trauma to her body.
That implies a broken hyoid bone (strangling) or a gun or knife or some weapon to bludgeon.
I just don't have a clue.
The first report I read stated she was in the early stages of decomposition, there could still have been some skin and flesh on her bones. Probably still enough tissue that indicated bruises or cuts. Could have been heavy bruising around her neck, they don't necessarily have to check the hyoid bone to tell if someone's been choked or strangled. I'm not sure if LEO's are that medically knowledgable, seems like the ME would have to determine that.
