A woman whose body was found in a remote hillside stream 14 years ago, may have been a "Thai bride".

 

Detectives investigating the unidentified woman's death believe she may have been brought to the UK.

 

The remains of the woman, who is believed to have been from south-east Asia, were discovered by a group of walkers on the Pennine Way in North Yorkshire.

 

She was found between Pen-y-Ghent and Horton, Ribblesdale, on September 20, 2004.

Apparently they implied "mail-order bride"

Maybe no crocs in the UK?

That´s great work over the course of 14 years.

The post-mortem concluded she had died 1-3 weeks before her body was discovered, but they couldn't give any age indication, only that she was 20-40 yrs and weighed about 10 stone.. That's a huge disparity.. At least she had a proper UK funeral.. I hope they do catch the baXXard responsible.. RIP.. 

A 10 stone Thai girl?

Surely more likely a trafficked woman who was a prostitute / or was forced into prostitution. She died either accidentaly or gang killed her and dumped her body as no or incorrect paperwork. Surely a man missing a Thai wife would be easy to track down?

It's taken fourteen years to reach this conclusion, and it's still not a certainty.

f they don't know who she is, how the hell can they say, ''had been in the UK for at least two years before her death'' ?

Everybody should have their DNA taken at nirth & registered on their birth certificate & a national database for these situations & crime incl rape etc.. Its the modern fingerprint. While some will say its big brother & orwellian the movement of people mowadays makes it necessary.

Off topic/poor humor and responses removed.

After 14 years further information may have come to light for a "cold case" review.
