From the 13 news link a person was quoted as saying a skeleton was found and some men's clothing nearby. Just curious, how long would it take for a body to decompose down to a skeleton? I ask only because of stories like this---god-forbid this is the case, but has enough time passed for AJ's body to have decomposed down to a skeleton?
It honestly depends on so many things. Location (is it arid, moist, near water, in water), did the body have an open wound, climate, time of year, insect activity, animal predation...etc. etc. It's really iffy to try to guess without knowing all of those things.
