Police continue to investigate the death of a 24-year-old woman whose remains were recovered this week.

Elena Lozada's mother reported her missing in July because the young woman had been out of contact for an unusually long period of time. Police now consider the case an unattended death with suspicious circumstances.

Lozada had been living in an apartment on Grant Street and said she was planning to move to Boston, police said in December. But she stayed in the Portland area for weeks after moving out of the apartment, police said.

Police said Lozada's skeletal remains were found in a remote area of the state Sunday. Lozada's family was notified Thursday.

Few details were available about the case, but police said Friday that more information will likely be released next week.

Nathaniel Pete Mincher, who states that he dumped Elena's body in Northport. Why didn't he help this woman. But instead sets her body on fire.. Why. I can't believe some people are so thoughtless. This young lady goes missing July 6. He waits till February to inform police. Meantime family is worried about their daughter and to learn what happened after he dumped her makes me sick. If it was a drug overdose then why the need to burn the body. Sounds very fishy to me.
