In an interview with CDN Digital this Tuesday, November 24, 2020, Taneo said that they are waiting for the result of the crossmatch DNA test done on the other body parts which were found days after the body was found in October 24, 2020. This is crucial in determining if the body parts which were found in different locations belong to the woman.

“Gahuwat pa mi sa DNA crossmatch result nga girequest namo sa crime lab unya amoa pud gi balik ug cartographic sketch ang nawung kay di pagyud maklaro ang nahimo,” said Taneo.

In previous reports, Taneo revealed that they started again from scratch as some of the progress of their investigation including possible family members who stepped forward already had their cases solved.

“As of now both Cebu City and Cebu Province wala pagyud nag claim,” said Taneo. /rcg
