Received in a body bag are the skeletonized and mummified remains of a Caucasian, adolescent female, approximately 5'2 1/2" tall with light brown hair. The skull and extremities are devoid of any tissue. The skull is intact and shows no fractures or perforations; the cranial cavity is empty. The mandible is detached from the maxilla. Several of the molars and pre-molars are missing, some of which are in the body bag loose. However, the remaining molars are consistent with those of an adolescent female between the ages of 14 - 18.
The extremities are devoid of any tissue also. The arms are detached from the torso. The bones of the hands and feet and the left humerus are missing. In addition, the cervical vertrebrae one through four are missing. The remaining vertebrae of the spine are intact and show no dislocations or fractures.
X-rays of the skull, extremities and a mummified torso reveal no foreign objects, such as bullets. The torso shows no lacerations or stab wounds. The torso is opened. The internal viscera are liquified. The thoracic cavity contains no tissues. The abdominal cavity contains only the small, shrunken and dehydrated small and large bowels. The remainder of the internal viscera are unidentifable.
The bones of the extremities show signs of both rodent bites, as well as larger carnivorous animal bites. There are no fractures identified of any of the bones that are present; this includes the ribs, all of which are present, as well as both clavicals.
Accompanying the body is a corduroy-printed dress with a belt that is torn. In addition, a pair of printed panties are around the femurs of the body.
In conclusion, this is the body of a young white female without any obvious signs of trauma, whose immediate cause of death cannot be ascertained due to the condition of the remains. The length of time of death would be compatible with the history of four weeks.
