The sheriff's office initially investigated this as a homicide, but in 2008, after getting a second medical examiner opinion, they changed their minds. The coroner's office disagreed then, and they disagree now.
"She definitely had a large amount of cocaine, she also had carbon monoxide in her bloodstream which indicated that she was alive when she was set on fire. It is still a homicide," said Yakima County Coroner Jack Hawkins.
Homicide or not, someone burned and dumped the teen body and her family and Chief Graham still want answers.
