Case History
The Duchesne County Sheriff's Office was serving a drug search warrant on a 620 acre lot owned by a specific individual. During the search the remains were found in an outdoor area. The remains were initially thought to be archaeological Native American, but recent forensic anthropological analysis determined the remains to be a modern Hispanic female who died 2-20 years before 2001.
 
I wonder if her death was related to the drug trafficker
 
I love that they 1) thought she was historical and 2) can’t tell if she was deceased since 1999 or 1981...
 
No rule outs for this poor girl.

Since August is Utah’s Cold Case month, maybe they will work on finding some comparisons.

Circumstances of Recovery:
The Duchesne County Sheriff's Office was serving a drug search warrant on a 620 acre lot owned by a specific individual. During the search the remains were found in an outdoor area. The remains were initially thought to be archaeological Native American, but recent forensic anthropological analysis determined the remains to be a modern Hispanic female who died 2-20 years before 2001. (I took it upon myself to do the math and fill in the estimated date of death; NamUs lists 2001)

That’s an awfully narrow age range for such a broad PMI. o_O
 
Here is an article with more information on the circumstances surrounding her recovery

A human skull found tied to the top of a wooden fence post was taken to the State Medical Examiner.

Preliminary reports indicate the skull is "very old," perhaps from an old burial ground and is probably that of a young girl
