Object Found in Lake Is Human Remains.(New Mexico)
Byline: Guillermo Contreras Journal Staff Writer
Crime Lab Looking For Clues to Identity
Genetic tests have confirmed that a fleshy object found by a fisherman in Elephant Butte Lake in June is human remains, investigators said Wednesday.
State Police Lt. Mark Weaver said the state crime lab will do more DNA tests on the tissue to try to determine whom it's from and whether it's connected to the Elephant Butte sexual-torture case.
The remains were in a burlap sack pulled from the lake June 30. A police report described the object as "flesh or tissue" that looked like internal organs, but Weaver said investigators can't tell from the tests what part of the body it's from, or whether the body would have been male or female.
The Office of the Medical Investigator in Albuquerque said Wednesday it appears to be muscle tissue.
"Obviously we're looking at possible connections" to the sexual-torture case, Weaver said.
