I just did a search but can not find any information on if they ever found the rest of the remains or just the skull. The rest of the remains would give an idea on height etc. Anyone else find anything?

I found one article in the newspaper archives from April 15:

The bones of a woman found last month in the woods of the far-north corner of Clark County remain unidentified.


The remains, including a skull that revealed extensive and distinctive dental work, are at the Clark County medical examiner's office. Investigators are still trying to figure out who the woman was, the first step to determining how her body ended up near the Yale Bridge, which spans the North Fork of the Lewis River at the east end of Lake Merwin.

On March 6, an Ariel man looking for deer antlers discovered the bones and called police. It is believed the remains had been there for at least two years.

Searchers, including volunteers and law enforcement officers, combed the thick foliage for two days, looking for more remains or any other evidence.

The only item recovered was some clothing, which could have been part of a skirt or a blouse, said Clark County Sheriff's Sgt. Fred Neiman, who led the search.

So far, the examination of the bones has revealed the woman was in her late 30s or older. The details do not match any open missing persons cases in Clark County. The information is being shared with other law enforcement agencies in the country.
