Especially for the type of specialist they're having comeI would think they need the bones!

LOL this pretty much tells me the bones.
where the victim's remains are in the advanced stages of decomposition. A forensic physical anthropologist can assist in the identification of deceased individuals whose remains are decomposed, burned, mutilated or otherwise unrecognizable.

Not sure if anyone has been back to the page but Ms. Lee clarifies her statement a bit in the comments below..

Another point of confusion, whether AJ was cremated or not, may have made it out to, again, put LE in a position to say something about where things stand.
Perhaps a more subtle but none-the-less another attempt at using the media to influence public impressions and garner information by the family spokespeople, who knows?
Sounds like that to my ear, more tasteless manipulative stuff emanating from a party to the case that makes them yet again look more suspicious, nefarious and cagey.
My speculation here----- would an anthropologist be helpful in determining soil likeness, original location of dirt from under nails, original location based on leaves, buds found on the body, or clothing decomposition based on weather or exposure? Or, the kind of changes in body position or movement that might have occurred based on body placement and exposure? Or, rough timeline of previous broken bones, scars, pregnancies? This is the first time I have read that an anthropologist would aid in the investigation. I am curious to know what the professional would bring to the case. Forensic anthropology, kind of cool to think about
In my limited experience, once a body has been released and signed for by the next of kin, it is the sole discretion of the kin to determine what happens next. Remains that are unclaimed often have to sit for a period of time before the state will choose a method of internment. I don't think we know if the body has been released. One MSM source said there was going to be a private service later with the cremains.
AJ was identified very quickly. IMO this couldn't have been done if she were skeletonized or very badly decomposed. Here's some info from another link.
Forensic anthropologists can assess the age, sex, and unique features of a decedent and are invaluable in documenting trauma to the body and estimating how long a corpse has been decomposing. Forensic anthropologists work closely with individuals in law enforcement and medical science—and especially with specialists in ballistics, explosives, pathology, serology (the study of blood and bodily fluids), and toxicology—and are often expert witnesses in murder trials.

Not necessarily true, Spam. Shannan Gilbert's body was very bady decomposed. She was identified by a metal plate in her jaw. There could have been any number of things that made AJ's identification easy, despite the fact that she was badly decomposed. Clothing, unique piercings, unique tattoos, unique bone breaks or scars, any number of things.

Google the University Of Tennessee "Body Farm" when you have a chance. Fascinating reading. There is ALOT of online info about the work they do there, but "Death's Acre" is a must read if you are interested in the subject.
