The remains were collected and were sent to the state crime lab for autopsy.

There has been speculation regarding the body and who it may be, but according to Roe, the department will let the state crime lab do its job.

“We don’t know who and it wouldn’t be right for anyone’s family for us to speculate who it may or may not be, so the medical examiner’s office will do their job and let us know once their investigation is completed,” Roe said.
