Investigators won't be able to identify the woman for a little while; however, they already have critical information that will make the difference. Thus far, the El Paso County Coroner has confirmed the remains are those of a White or Hispanic Woman, somewhere between the age of 30 and 40 years old. The coroner has confirmed the woman had dark hair, weighed between 190 and 200 pounds and stood between 5'3" and 5'6" tall. El Paso County Coroner Dr. Robert Bux and his staff are a one of only a few groups in all of Colorado who can provide autopsies and analyses on human bones. "Basically, everything starts here," Dr. Bux said. For the El Paso County Coroner, providing information on human remains starts with building an identity first. Dr. Bux says much of the early information investigators use to help identify remains comes from a single bone. A femur bone, for example, can provide a person's sex, age, height and weight. Dr. Bux says the size of a bone; its thickness and length can tell him everything from a person's age to whether or not they did heavy lifting. Immediately, Dr. Bux was able to provide Custer County investigators with clues they were able to plug into a missing person's database. Within minutes, information provided by the El Paso County Coroner's Office eliminated thousands of missing person cases. The work conducted inside the coroner's office generates thousands of dollars in revenue from 21 Southern Colorado counties. Dr. Bux says autopsies alone from other counties amounts to nearly 30% of his department's budget. Custer County Sheriff's Office investigators still need your help identifying the remains of the woman's body. If you have any information, you're asked to call (719) 783-2270 or email the sheriff's office at: custersheriff@centurytel.net. http://www.krdo.com/Global/story.asp?S=11595821 |
