LE often waits for the coroner/medical examiner's report. In some states they're required to and in others it's just the practice. We've seen a lot of cases where the preliminary information turns out to be wrong, so it's better to be sure.

Yes, I agree Carbuff.

Could she have been dragged to the middle of the road by animals after being dumped in a wooded area?

Identified - Kristen Balismo, 30, of Port Arthur

The identity of the woman whose body was found early in June on Pleasure Island has been confirmed by Port Arthur Police.

Port Arthur Police confirmed that the badly decomposed body found by a man driving along the 2900 block of Highway 82 on the island was identified as Kristen Balismo, 30, of Port Arthur.

Jefferson County Justice of the Peace Tom Gillam previously told 12News Balismo died of blunt force trauma to the head.

The man who found Balismo's body said he saw the remains lying in the middle of a gravel road as he was taking a shortcut to pick his wife up from work.

Thank you for the update.

RIP Kristen

May have found her Facebook page and she has two littles. Hopefully they are safe and happy.

Rest in peace, Ms. Balismo. I hope they find your killer and justice comes soon.

 

[Bit of hope]

She had a troubled, challenging live, for what I could read on her Facebook sites. Sad it had to end this way. I hope you are in peace now, Ms Balismo.

RIP Kristen

I hope they catch whoever did this to you.

My goodness, this poor woman. I found her Facebook page and read her posts. Apparently she was in an accident and then became hooked on drugs. I hope she is at peace now. And I hope justice is served.
