It's always possible that when Michelle's body is found, there is some evidence that ties into what happened to her and possibly where. If she was wrapped in something before being disposed, hopefully it may lead back to the perpetrator of the crime.
I think they would also be able to determine cause of death if it was something along the lines of strangulation and/or blunt force trauma. I don't think they could determine if it is something "softer" like suffocation. If it was anything like a gunshot or a stabbing, then they may be able to determine that the murder did not occur at the condo, although I'm not too confident that they were able to do a whole CSI search of the condo. Perhaps the location of the body is also the crime scene. Which opens up other possibilities and leads.
And the location itself might lend some clues as to who would have been familiar with the area in which she was placed and whether there was any cellular phone activity in that area at the time of her disappearance.
Lots of new leads and evidence can be gained from finding Michelle IMO. Now if they could only do that.
