still no autopsy results? I can't find any new updates.

It will take a while, 4 to 6 weeks is a pretty standard timeline for forensic toxicology testing.

BREAKING: Autopsy reveals inconclusive cause of death in Natalie Jones case - LaGrange Daily News


The Heard County Sheriff’s Office reported Tuesday that autopsy results were inconclusive in the investigation of 27-year-old Natalie Jones’ death.


According to HSCO Lt. Dan Boswell, due to the condition of the body when found, the death investigation, autopsy and toxicology testing of Jones did not reveal a clear cause of death.

Boswell said the case will still remain open. He added that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has not completed its full report.


Boswell said there was no indication of trauma, foul play or drugs to Jones’ body.

'A fresh set of eyes would help': Loved ones call for grand jury to look in death of Georgia mother

I imagine a copy of the catalog of the car's contents could help with closure but I see the person interviewed in this article is described as a "family friend" so not immediate family that would have probably already had access to it.

would carbon monoxide poisoning be detectable in skeletal remains?

No any acute toxicity is not going to be detectable in bone, only compounds that were present for long long periods as the bones grew. Hair grows faster and holds up pretty well but something like carbon monoxide would need to be found in the blood, usually from the liver - the source and location of the biggest volume of richest purest blood. Potent neurotoxins can kill before they even get into the blood in very detectable concentrations, that's why they're used in espionage. A gas that kills simply by displacing oxygen and smothering its victims like helium doesn't seem amiss on a blood test. Carbon monoxide causes some signature indicators that first responders are well familiar with but it all goes out the window when a body goes unfound for many hot summer months.

This case is still just so puzzling, so they were able to confirm that she did not have any drugs in her system? I know that her body was badly decomposed, would they still be able to spot signs of strangulation, asphyxiation (like a plastic bag over her head?) or something along those lines?
