"Despite a five-year investigation and a comparison of the skeleton's DNA against the national DNA database, detectives have not been able to confirm her identity. Bone-mineral tests were also conducted in a bid to try to determine a rough location for where she grew up. A number of theories are still being considered, including that she was illegally exhumed after a possible family inheritance feud or some kind of personal grudge."
"Timber fragments found near the body may indicate the remains of a coffin. Further, a large crucifix that was initially thought to be a personal item is now considered to have possibly been part of a coffin decoration. Now, a fresh appeal has been issued as curious details and new theories emerge, including the possibility that the woman may have been exhumed in an inheritance dispute."
