It’s almost a week now since the body of a naked woman was found along the shoreline of Laulau Beach but no one has yet showed up at the Commonwealth Health Center to claim the body.
Department of Public Safety acting spokesman Sgt. Thomas A. Blas Jr. told [I]Saipan Tribune[/I] that nobody appeared at CHC’s morgue either to claim or identify the victim.
Blas said investigators also checked different garment factories to determine if any of their workers are missing.
“It turned out empty,” he said.
Asked whether the autopsy showed that the victim was sexually abused, Blas said Guam chief medical examiner Dr. Aurelio Espinola’s report did not mention that.
Espinola performed the autopsy on the body last Friday at CHC. He determined that there was foul play involved and that the victim died of asphyxiation. Espinola determined that the cause of death was drowning.
Blas reiterated that NMI Crime Stoppers Program is offering up to $1,000 cash reward to anyone who can provide information that will lead to the arrest of the killer or killers.
Two local fishermen found the dead woman along the shoreline of the southernmost portion of Laulau Beach Thursday afternoon.
The woman, described as an Asian, had a distinguishing mark of a red rose tattoo on the left chest. Police recovered at the scene a multi-colored stripe blouse and a black jean-type pair of pants with a brand name “MHAL.”
