The search began earlier this week after investigators got a tip that a woman's body was buried in the basement.
---------------------------------

"The girl has been missing eight years," said one neighbor who identified himself as Art. "The family was in and out of there all the time. At least they finally found her."

"The girl has been missing eight years," said one neighbor who identified himself as Art. "The family was in and out of there all the time. At least they finally found her."

Anyone have any guesses on who this could be? The article doesn't say anything such as "Police say these may be the remains of _______" or even something like "_______ went missing 8 years ago but police will not comment on whether or not this search was related"

It's been suggested elsewhere, but Amanda DeGuio seems to fit the (limited) criteria. She's been missing from Drexel Hill for eight years.

Hard to tell. On the one hand the report was for a missing woman, but then the neighbor said "that girl has been missing..." Whoever she is, I'm thinking she's fairly young.

Agreed. Was just checking around online and articles about her popped up first. And of the 5 missing women from 2014/2015 listed in Namus for PA, she seemed to match up in terms of dates and area.

Based on the neighbor’s statement, it almost sounds like a member of the family who owned/owns the house went missing eight years ago. But if that’s the case, why did it take a tip for police to search the house eight years later?

Nice observation! Here is another younger woman (24) but she's missing from Pittsburgh, which is not close / 4.5+ hours away, so probably unlikely.

Here is another one. She was 21 when she went missing, but only 7.5 years ago vs 8 and really far away at 5.5+ hours. The circumstances of her disappearance are...alarming.

Believed to have been victim of foul play by known person. May have been victim of white slave trade.

Going with the girl rather than woman, there's Estefani Rivadeneyra. Only 15 years old. Missing since 5/5/2015.

There was a property searched back in Sept. I wonder if the tip here is related to the Sept search.

I know she’s been longer but don’t forget about her missing Melissa Ortiz-Rodriguez – The Charley Project

“Philadelphia police said they have ‘no releasable information’ as of Tuesday, Dec. 20. The department confirmed to Daily Voice last week that it was investigating a tip regarding human remains at a property near 5200 Burton, but declined to go into detail.” Body Mummified In Concrete Removed From Philadelphia Home: Report

I wonder if Upper Darby/Delaware Co are involved.

If true, that would seem to rule out Amanda. I believe her mother reported her missing about 2.5 months after she left the house. Amanda DeGuio - Delaware County District Attorneys Office

What has blown me away as DNA and advanced/persistent investigation (the latter in this case) have continued is how many missing people were never reported.

”He ran away”
”She walked out”
”He said he was traveling for a while”
”She left in the middle of the night”
”He left for her”
”She left with him”

Not to be classist, but - it’s mind-blowing. I cannot imagine someone I love or even like vanishing and not raising that issue in a reportable, documented way. Until the last few years (and Websleuths) I failed to realize that my view is not a majority view, and that distancing, distrust, fear, apprehension, classism, parochialism are all SO DEEPLY EMBEDDED in what actually goes on when someone disappears in the US.

It really sounds like the neighbor's story about a "girl" living in the house going missing eight years ago may turn out to be true, especially if the woman was never reported missing to the police.

So from what read they know it’s a woman and who it is but not Identifying her
