Just a thought...could it be a skull from the cemetery? I wonder why after so many months they were still not able to estimated the time of dead/PMI.

I think Tiffany could be a good match. I mapped out her last known location and the distance to the area the skull was found is not that far apart. I wonder what the story was for the person she was last seen with in that red car? I'm guessing either they didn't find enough evidence of any crime or the story checked out and they were not involved in any wrong doing.
