"Detectives also suspect that the skeletal remains belong to the female victim of a homicide. But the task of identifying that victim could take months given the fact that more than 100 women have been reported missing in Oregon alone during the past two years." <snipped>

The article is from the time period when she was found. She has yet to be identified, but good to know her DNA is on file and we have a lot of dentals for verification.

Shannon was last seen about 45 mins away and isn't listed as a ruleout. This pic isn't the greatest but it's the only one I could find. Of the two composites I think Shannon's pic resembles the sketch on the right above. Moo
