[h=1]Body of Mystery Woman Weighing Only 89 Pounds Found Partially Submerged in New York Creek[/h]Investigators said it’s not clear how she died, nor have they indicated whether they suspect foul play. The forensic examination and autopsy are ongoing.
Neighbors say their town is usually quiet, and that they're disturbed by the gruesome discovery in the wooded and muddy area down the road.

Anyone with information that may help identify the woman is asked to call Troop K Headquarters at (845) 677-7300.

I'm not sure about the white trousers....we usually wear them in summertime...not in February. Could she be coming from warmer parts in the US or another (warmer) country?

Merrells are common shoes worn by hikers. Any missing hikers? Her weight could be due to being out in the elements for a sustained amount of time leading to weight loss.

Would you hike with white trousers on? Think not IMO
 
Under "Other distinctive
physical characteristics" it says "small ears".

That's a strange thing to note, IMO. I wonder if this woman/teen had a health issue that made her so thin with small ears?
Meier-Gorlin is a possibility if there were other indicators. Could be a chromosome disorder. But this is rare, and other indicators would have to be present.
 
And if you are 89 pounds you probably aren’t feeling up for a hike.

I’m a wilderness backpacker so it was something I noticed. Sorry I said anything. Didn’t mean anything other than to offer a suggestion

I found Haileyann's social media and it's been updated regularly and recently. It doesn't appear to be her, but I wouldn't rule her out completely since social media always needs to be taken with a grain of salt.
 
Another thing too that I have a theory about is that if she was 89 pounds, 1. Did she have an eating disorder?? 2. Was there some kind of abuse?? and 3. Is she naturally thin like that??

Looked it up...MYC is regulator gene with a role in genetic conditions. Perhaps she suffered with a genetic condition leading to small ears and being likely hearing impaired. I'm thinking more likely genetically predisposed being so skinny, too. Her poor heart could've given out at that weight.
I'd check the local mom and pop long term care facilities and fosters in the area for developmentally challenged people...
 
Another clue to ponder-- it says she had a "paper with MYC written on it"

For one Myc (c-Myc) is a regulator gene that codes for a transcription factor. The protein encoded by this gene is a multifunctional, nuclear phosphoprotein that plays a role in cell cycle progression, apoptosis and cellular transformation.[SUP][5][/SUP] It has a role in cancer for what I understand.

Could explain her weight. But why put in on a paper and like that.

Sorry, just missed you post CoffeeAD

Maybe she had just received a diagnosis and wrote it down?
