Ky Sandelovic, who works for Sendero Powerline Construction, was installing new power poles with his crew near the intersection of FM 1044 and Green Valley Road, he told mySA.com. In the afternoon he needed to use the bathroom, so he found a spot about 45 yards away from the work site, he said. That's when he spotted what looked like a skull.

"I was in a little clearing and you can see it plain as day," he said.

Approximate location: Google Maps

We take our grandkid to Landa Park when we visit. Drove around the area some but didn't go to that particular part of town. The town is fairly densely populated but the surrounding area gets rural very quickly. It's also been growing fast and there's a lot of new construction.

I wonder if "personal effects" might include a handgun.

Or something that will lead to a quick identification.

Has anyone submitted Ann Marie Newark to anyone to rule out?

Normally I don't do this, but I think our resident artist @coffeeandacig might be able to spruce up that skull a bit.

@victoriarobinson642 Aww, that poor woman!!!

@CarlK90245 Since the photos of the skull provided to the newspaper were from the man who found the skull, Ky Sandelovic, is there anyway they can be used for an drawing?

As far as accuracy, I don't know how well it would turn out, since there is nothing to scale the skull with in the photos. A lot of artistic license would have to be used too, based on the fact she's had half her face blown out, is missing her mandible, and hair and eye color are unknown.

Bumping. I live really close to this and have been following this case from the beginning. I saw it posted last night in a group I follow so I went ahead and submitted the tip about Ann Marie Newark. Thank you @cybervampira I really think this is her. Though I find it hard to believe that no one else has submitted that tip.

The NamUs page for these remains is down.

I notice Ann Marie Newark is no longer listed as missing as well--perhaps more than a coincidence?
