Found Deceased MI - Adrienne Quintal, 47, called for help, foul play possible, Honor, Benzie Co., 17 Oct 2019 #2

I am rural. Myself and many others who live in the country notice small changes. I have noticed things out of place and turned around to check things out many times. I have been on both ends of a call to a neighbor to alert them of something strange.

Very interesting that LE could say the victim was in their 50s without knowing their identity. How can you possibly be accurate in determining if someone is 51 or 47? Possibly they were easily able to identify this person? Or possibly they were black or asian and they were easily able to determine it wasn't Ada?

Leelanau County Sheriff Mike Borkovich said investigators are treating it as a homicide. Authorities were called Wednesday after a caller wondered if the drag marks might have been caused by someone dumping a dead deer or trash in the Maple City area, northwest of Traverse City.

Benzie County Sheriff Ted Schendel said he doesn’t believe it’s Adrienne Quintal, a Detroit-area woman who is missing from a family cabin in Honor.

I agree. I grew up in a rural area and I know for a fact if we drove past drag marks that my dad would have checked it out. We didn't live in an area where road kill was a thing but there are areas where that is a way of life and no judgment from me. My first thought if I saw drag marks would be that an animal was injured (probably got hit/clipped on the road) and dragged itself away. They probably wanted to get the animal help and were shocked to find a body. At least that would be my first guess.

IMO it means they have an idea who the person is and that it’s not AQ but for the sake of formalities can’t identify the person publicly.

TCPD: Missing Traverse City woman may be homicide victim found in Leelanau

They have someone under arrest for UNRELATED charges but suspect them in the murder of UUD...who is identified as NOT AQ.

Edited because I got a fact wrong.

"Over 50" can also mean 70 or 90 or some age that could be easily determined to be "over 50".

Wow, that's crazy. She gets in a fight with her husband causing him to leave, then ends up getting murdered by someone else. You just can't make this stuff up.

A body found only 15 miles away and not AQ?
How strange. Sorry for that family and their loss. I would guess the people who pulled over to check things out saw a bloody drag through the snow. Seems like something that happened pretty recently and left a trace. Someone was in a rush.
If AQ is found not to be alive, I would say she’s in water.

The body found was identified as a 62 year old woman from Illinois who was living in the Traverse City area. Body Found In Leelanau County Identified As Missing TC Woman

I am trying to find the link again, but I SWEAR I read a few moments ago that investigators said that this crime is connected to Ada's!

 

[Lisa Dee]

Here is the link- they don't specify Ada's case, but refer to it.

Yes I confirm you are reading it right! What a development if this is the case, well spotted

 

[Birmingplumb]

If true some kind of serial killer? No warning to public? OR journalist error mistake? . Great catch. Correction. Re-read article.....references Trav City Investigation not Benzie

I think they talking about the missing persons case of this 62 year old Traverse City woman. She was reported missing after a fight with her husband. I don’t believe it’s related to Ada.

I read it as relating it to ANOTHER missing person case.

LEELANAU COUNTY, MI – Police believe a body found in Leelanau County may be related to an ongoing missing person investigation by the Traverse City Police Department.

Note that it says an investigation by Traverse City Police.

Maybe I'm wrong in my interpretation. I'm open to hearing how others are reading it.

Right now, you can drive over without a passport or use a boat without issues.

If you fly into Canada, you need a passport for at least three months. Even if you are a Canadian citizen, you need a passport to fly from one area of Canada to another.

I found an articles to back this up:

What You Need to Know About Visiting Canada From the U.S.

You’re wrong about driving in without the passport. My late husband was Canadian and we dealt with it on every trip. Canada will not let you drive in without having proper documents to RETURN to the US. The US requires the passport or enhanced drivers license (currently only available in border states) to get back into the country. If you read the rest of the article you posted, it’s all there.

So after reading some replies, it seems I am wrong.
Dang! I thought we had movement in Ada's case.
