<p>I may be the only one following this case since it’s in my neck of the woods, but it has made the national news this week, so hopefully someone will know something about this.</p>

<p>The former New York City chief medical examiner released his report of the examination of the exhumed body. I guess this more a forensics question, but how can they exhume a body after three years and find evidence enough to determine there was a struggle and she had bruises on her body that indicated homicide? I assumed a body decays a lot in three years, but maybe not. I guess I don’t watch enough CSI or Law and Order. Does anyone understand how they come to these conclusions from a body that has been in the ground for three years.</p>

<p>teriwtt – I have been trying to follow this story, but very little of the details have been printed in my local paper. I don’t know how they determined she was killed after three years. Why didn’t they determine it was homicide at the time of her death? Please keep us informed. Thanks</p>
