Forensics experts in the Washoe County Sheriff's Crime Lab are examining DNA samples from a body found in Churchill County yesterday. Two local agencies with missing persons cases are anxiously awaiting those results.
The initial speculation centered around a missing Carson City woman, Bertha Anguiano.
And Carson Detectives are hopeful an identification may help solve the Anguiano case. The remains were found in the desert about a mile north of U-S 50 West of Fallon yesterday.
Today an autopsy was performed at the Washoe County Coroner's Office, but the partial skeleton told authorities little and provided no definite clues to their identity.
