I thought of Michelle when I saw this, given that she is a hiker. It's probably a long shot, given that South Mountain is 22 miles from The Tide Apartments.

Thanks for posting this. They can usually determine the deceased's biological gender and general age fairly quickly from the bones. Ideally, the forensic anthropologist would have access to both the pelvis and skull to estimate sex, but sometimes one is missing (usually due to post-mortem animal activity, and not foul play). Still for the trained eye, it's usually fairly obvious - the female pelvic girdle is just built differently for childbearing, and in a male the attachment sites for muscle are more robust, plus there are differences in the skull, a biological female skull being what they call more "gracile" or smaller. Specific individual identify will take longer, as dental comparisons and/or DNA will have to be looked at. That can take weeks. Hopefully this found person's family will have closure soon.

Details of Disappearance​

Bernstein-Schultz was last seen at her apartment in the vicinity of North 40th Street and East Greenway Road in Phoenix, Arizona on June 29, 2022. She spoke to her live-in boyfriend that day and she told him she wasn't feeling well and didn't want to be bothered. He got a message from her at 4:03 p.m., and no one heard from her after that.

When Bernstein-Schultz's boyfriend came home from work that night, he went to sleep on the living room couch. In the morning when he woke up, he realized Bernstein-Schultz was gone and her bed had not been slept in. He then filed a missing persons report with the police.

She disappeared without taking her personal belongings such as her car keys, phone, wallet, credit card, driver's license or cash, and has never been heard from again. She had also recently received a $2,500 check from a car accident settlement, and when she disappeared it was still at her lawyer's office waiting to be picked up.

Authorities stated there was no evidence of foul play in Bernstein-Schultz's case, but her family cannot understand why she would have left without her belongings and without her dog, whom she adored and took everywhere with her. She is twice divorced and her two sons from her previous marriages lived with their fathers at the time of her disappearance. She is an avid hiker. Her case remains unsolved.

Authorities stated there was no evidence of foul play in Bernstein-Schultz's case, but her family cannot understand why she would have left without her belongings and without her dog, whom she adored and took everywhere with her.

Of course she wouldn't just walk out with nothing.

Police stating 'no evidence' of foul play' isn't the same as police stating 'no foul play'.

Her intimate partner's story is unbelievably evasive and has big holes during the crucial time period.

We aren't fools on WS, we've seen story after story after story of women supposedly 'vanishing'. They don't vanish, they are made to disappear by someone very close to them.

However, I don't want to believe Phoenix police are fools, either. They just need evidence and IMO it's not going to be a tip from the public.
