The environment is key here. IDK where you're talking about, and of course you probably shouldn't give out where you're from to us strangers online, but I think the unique conditions of the swamp: the water, the heat, the humidity, the insects and animals, etc. all of those factors combined do not help body conditions. For example, Brenda Gerow, may she Rest In Peace, was found, in April in Arizona, roughly two days after she died and her condition was advanced enough that she was unrecognizable and her eye color couldn't be determined. However, Bitter Creek Betty, found in Wyoming in March, was so well preserved by the frozen weather that even though she died roughly a month before really all investigators had to do for a facial reconstruction was draw open eyes on a photo of her face. With these conditions, I think there's a possibility, at least, that it's Brian.Does anyone know if it's likely that if someone or something died within weeks or even a couple months that the decomposition would lead to just 'bones' at this point in time? Seems to quickly to me. I used to hike a lot and came across many many animal remains and the only ones I found that were 'bones' only had clearly been there for a very long time because they were sun-bleached and it was just visually obvious around them that they had been there for quite some time. MOST of the animal remains I have found still had fur, dried blood, flies, etc on them even though it was obvious they still weren't there anytime extremely recently.
