wow.... but they arent sure if shes dismembered or disarticulated?

i know a few years ago they had some MS13 issues in MD, is this close to any of that?

A quick search showed a hispanic male (originally thought black) found in Cunningham Falls park a few years back. This one has an El Salvador keychain, so not out of the realm of possibility. Thurmont is close to Frederick, and Frederick is definitely a stop on the major highway drug corridor.

The picture of the keychain shows a sparkly cylinder, what is that? Also the only key on the ring looks like a key to a front door. Interesting that there aren’t more keys. My own key ring has like 10 keys on it from the house and car.

Looks like mace to me. I am wondering if this is possibly a college student without a vehicle or younger person that doesn't drive yet since the only key is a house key.

The El Salvador keychain looks like a tourist thing to me.

The sparkly thing looks like pepper spray. I have a blue one almost identical on my key chain..

No tissue remained on the body, which investigators said likely meant she had been there for between one and six months. She was also wearing light clothing, indicating the weather was warm when she died, according to The Washington Post.

Hikers at Catoctin Mountain Park first found skeletal remains of one of the woman’s feet inside a red Nike sneaker Saturday afternoon. Her body – a skeleton -- was found by investigators nearby on Sunday. Her other foot and a hand were still missing, FOX 5 in Washington, D.C. reported.

Officials say the a portion of an unidentified woman's body was found Saturday afternoon by hikers.

The cause of death is still pending an autopsy. Based on the condition of the body, it is unclear how long she was there.

I saw this on FOX news earlier and immediately thought, those keys will be critical in ID. Most folks who have keychains like this, they're gifts from kids, souveniers, etc. I used to have a HUGE amount of trinkets hanging off my keychain and my kids & hubby would be able to ID them in a heartbeat.

Or else the person who left her there has the car keys.

Is there reason to think this person may have been killed elsewhere and taken across state lines?

I ask this because the FBI is involved. Alternately, it could be because the victim was found so close to a resort for the US President, Camp David.

Catoctin Mountain is part of the national park system, so it's under federal jurisdiction and the FBI is the primary LE agency.

i cant remember names, but there were several very young latinx men and a girl found in MD that were determined to be ms13 victims. very sad. they were usually buried in parks or woods.

Thank you for clarifying.

Jurisdiction really confuses me sometimes, as it seems the FBI doesn't want to get involved in missing hikers cases.
