a simple x-ray would tell them the age.
They suspect it is him, but you know they can't come out and say so until it's confirmed. Remember when little Caylee was found? They knew it was her, we all knew it was her, but they had to wait for the DNA to offically announce it.
With Caylee there wasn't other missing kids and the skeleton fit her description because there was no burning or anything.
In this case it is burned and 3 feet tall instead of 4'7... and we have a 4 year old also missing in the area who is much closer to 3 feet tall.
They said it was a child before they moved the body from the scene.
I guess they could have taken a portable x-ray machine out there.... but I just thought it was unlikely.
I just figured if a body is burned badly enough to take 19 inches off of the length of the person... that it might require a bit more to be sure of the age.
It's probably him though. :furious:
