I do believe they know this is Libby though and are just keeping quiet until they have the full facts. If a body in the water possibly for 3 months could be easily identified as male (if one of the jumpers) it doesn't make sense to me at least why they would not be able to identify.
They are not obliged to keep the public informed moment by moment. The family of the deceased is entitled to be informed first.I think people should read what happens to a corpse in water after 7 weeks. *graphic information ahead* The skin peels from the bone, it practically dissolves. I can see why on initial glance they wouldn't know the gender but they could have taken tissue/blood/hair sample and had a vague DNA profile back and know whether or not it was Libby within hours(on a slow day). I get that they want to have an official confirmation via autopsy before releasing the information to the public but my personal opinion is that they would have ruled it out of it wasn't Libby as they will have likely known from yesterday.
Will they reveal today if they find the cause of death at her autopsy?
Not without evidence incriminating him.Would PR be charged now that a body has been found and he was the last person to be seen with her?

I believe that cold and salty water will protect the body more than fresh and warm.I think people should read what happens to a corpse in water after 7 weeks. *graphic information ahead* The skin peels from the bone, it practically dissolves.

It's miles from anywhere - as strange and isolated as looking at a map would suggested.
I'm not suggesting it as a disposal site or anything along those lines though. Vehicular access is limited and controlled. There was significant damage to the road due to a storm and it is now essentially an island and frequently cut off by the tide.
Too early to say.Would they arrest him on suspicion of murder?

Have to be able to prove cause and manner of death...jmo
I don’t recall there being many boats bobbing about. Just thinking about how or where somebody might have noticed a body if it wasn’t an organised search? Any thoughts Vermont?
