Absolutely. It is within walking distance IF he was at the U of U hospital which is sounds like he was. Probably a mile.

Police Chief Scott Folsom says until Monday's autopsy is completed, many unanswered questions will remain, including whether the body is male or female.

This is what the FB page said in the entry from 14 minutes ago:
There is still no confirmation on the gender of this body. Let's please remember, whomever this is, someone has lost a loved one. Prayers to this person's family!:waitasec:
Jules_SA, I followed your link and that was not what they said at all- what they said is what I copied and pasted above. Not sure how the info got mixed up but I thought it important to straighten it out!

There was an update tweeted several hours ago from Shelby Gifford that was showing on that FB page earlier today. You can see it here, along with statements made afterwards that there has been no ID of the remains yet. I'm unsure of why she said earlier that the remains were male. ???

The Twitter page shows she is citing the local Salt Lake media. She must've gotten her info from them, and they are apparently changing their story.

Hi All
My apologies - I actually quoted from an earlier source, also an administrator of the F&F page, who stated: "Body in Red Butte confirmed by media that of a male and therefore not Susan Cox Powell. Still searching, and sad for whomever lost a loved one in the
creek."
The media reports are now clearly stating that until the autopsy is complete they will not know the gender. I'll delete my previous post for the sake of clarity

Police: It will take time to ID body found in Red Butte Creek
June 21st, 2010 @ 3:25pm
SALT LAKE CITY -- Police say it could take some time, before the remains found at the University of Utah are identified. Two Chevron workers cleaning up an oil spill found the remains in Red Butte Creek Sunday.
An autopsy was performed on the body Monday afternoon, and University of Utah police are now waiting for the results. They say because the body was so badly decomposed, it may have been in the creek for months.
Police know very little about the remains, including whether they are that of a man or woman. They say there's nothing to indicate foul play. There were some clothes on the body but no identification.
Police say, generally, when a body is such advanced stages of decomposition, the medical examiner will look at bone structure to determine its gender. They say the skeleton can also reveal height and weight. This can be a time-consuming process.
"It takes time to get dental records, if you have any dental records, but then you have to have an idea of who the person might be; and at this point in time, we don't have any idea of who this person might be," said Capt. Lynn Mitchell, with the University of Utah Police Department.

"Some items of clothing were found nearby, he said, but it was unknown Monday if they were the victim's clothes.
The creek is close to the popular Bonneville Trail where a lot of people hike, Mitchell said."

Body just got identified as 52-year-old Douglas Nelson, according to KSL:
SALT LAKE CITY -- Police have identified the remains found at the University of Utah Sunday. They say the body is that of 52-year-old Douglas Nelson.
Two Chevron workers cleaning up an oil spill found Nelson's remains in Red Butte Creek. An autopsy performed Monday afternoon helped to identify him.
Police say Nelson was reported missing from Summit County on August 25, 2009. He last known to be near the University Health Sciences Center five days before.
Police say Nelson activated an emergency phone just before 11 p.m. that evening, looking for a ride off campus. He was then directed to the emergency room and was seen heading that way by campus officers.

It's not Susan. Josh is breathing a sigh of relief and I'm too frustrated to say anymore.

You know... I doubt he was concerned because he knew she wasn't there. Like I don't think Scott Peterson would have been concerned if a body was found in a pond near his home. He KNEW she was in the bay, totally unconnected.
Josh knows where he put her, so he wasn't concerned because he knew he didn't put her in water or anywhere that she would have ended up in water. (IMO) :banghead:

Well, what do locals think? Could he have driven down there in the weather they were having? I guess it would have taken about 9-10 hours round trip with a couple stops? Was there a snowstorm going on that far south?
