According to documents from the county attorney, Assistant State Medical Examiner Dr. Kelly Kruse reported that Gowan’s body had multiple injuries: The examiner found contusions on her head and neck, her lower back, and on her arms and legs. She had abrasions as well as an L-shaped laceration on her head and a broken tooth.

While the L-shaped injury was “significant” it wasn’t life-threatening but could have caused severe and prolonged bleeding, Kruse said in the report. Ligature marks resembled the strap of the purse Gowan had with her in surveillance video from the morning she was last seen. Due to the level of decomposition, however, Kruse couldn’t determine whether the blood loss caused her death but did say “there were no signs Gowan died of exposure or hypothermia.”

Witnesses told police that the pair had an “on-again, off-again” relationship that they categorized as volatile, with verbal fights set off by alcohol.
