Interesting how they feel she may have been asphyxiated - with skeletal remains. Was there a plastic bag over the head? Cord around neck?
Sorry to rain on the parade, but I think the Y.E.M. y'all are chasing is a red herring. If you look at the photo upside down, it's pretty clear to me that the engraving reads 14k USA.
Right side up, the engraving looks like W.S.N. to me and not Y.E.M., but I believe the inscription is telling us that the ring is 14k gold, made in the USA. White gold, obviously.
Unless the Y.E.M. is engraved on the other side of the ring that isn't shown in the photo I'm looking at; then I stand corrected.
I'm inclined to agree with you, except that I can't make the last letter look like anything but an M. It's definitely got the extra stroke on it. Definitely 14k though.
